Same thing with the cellphone (distracted-driving) paradox.
Where are all the accidents?
They don't seem to exist.
At least not in the United States.
Not by the federal government's own accident figures.
You do have a point. But consider that merely talking on the phone is
no different than talking to a passenger in the vehicle, except when you
talk with your hands! Accident rates getting lower over time may be the
result of people driving with fewer passengers.
I rarely use my cellphone, but do have a GPS and Ham Radio riding with
me. Both can be as distracting as texting. Lets just say I've been
extremely lucky.
