wish I had your confidence and less personal experience. I'll spare
you another anecdote illustrating the problem at the city level.

You'll note that I *asked* for better data, but nobody (yet) has
provided better accident statistics than what the government shows.

One person provided a statistic from the UK which showed that
cellphone *use* was extremely low in UK drivers, but nothing more
than that has been provided.

I'm not afraid of data. But nobody seems to have better data than
what I found.

One person noted that the accidents in a few years didn't go down
(they were flat), but nobody can show reliable data yet that the
accidents are going up.

So, the paradox remains.
