I suggested looking at actual studies many times.

it just took a simple Google search.


I think you consistently fail to comprehend that the *more*
you show *studies* that purport to indicate the dangers of
cellphone driving, the *LARGER* the paradox looms,


The only paradox here is how someone can still be alive and
be so dumb as to come in here claiming Paradox! while you haven't
even read the studies actually done on the subject. It took
SeaNymph just a couple of minutes to find them, and she's obviously
not the one with the hard on about the issue. What does that
say about you?




since there
is no evidence whatsoever in the governments' own statistics,
of an increased rate of accidents in the USA concomitant with
the skyrocketing cellphone ownership rates.

You can't just invalidate the most accurate statistics on the
topic just because you don't like (or understand) the logic.


Idiot, you don't even know what the most accurate source of
data is. You haven't even read the freaking studies to see
what data they used, what they accounted for, the methods, etc.
But feel free to keep digging your hole deeper.



If all these scare-tactics articles are actually correct, then
the paradox looms larger than ever, because the accident rate
simply has not risen. Period.

So, the *answer* to the conundrum is still open as to why, and
the articles are expected to help answer why - but the articles
can't possibly change the answer on the accident rates (because
that is a fact).

You may as well propose that the sun revolves around the earth,
just because it seems to you that it does.


This from the guy who just posted:

For example, most of us *feel* that the accident rate must be going up,
but it's not going up.


What a complete village idiot.
