The joke about people who are stupid shouldn't get a licence is partly true
in that driving has *always* involved (thousands of) distractions.

Those who can't handle distractions will *always* have accidents.

The cellphone simply displaced an existing distraction, and, by most
accounts, the cellphone is not even the biggest distraction while driving.

But you can *predict* the accident rate would not change with increased
cellphone usage simply by knowing that there are plenty of distractions
already. Adding one more changes nothing in the whole scheme of things.

Like you, I've also driven a million miles in my many decades of driving (I
started when I was a young teen, well before I could get a license).

Not one accident.

Good student discount on insurance for when I was a student (which happened
to be a very long time given I went to university for graduate degrees).

Good driver discount too.

People who have been in an accident have no right to even be in this
discussion as the fact they couldn't avoid that accident is indicative that
they're bad drivers (as you should be able to predict most accidents).

Anyway, nobody can find a single cite that backs up their religious
fabrication that cellphones had a huge effect on the accident rate in the
USA. That's because there was no effect whatsoever from cell phones.

Zero.

There are good reasons for that, given cellphones are certainly an "added
distraction" to the hundreds (if not thousands!) of existing distractions.

HINT: People who are too stupid to handle distractions while driving are
gonna have an accident whether a cellphone is in the car or not.

Good student. Good driver discount. Over a million miles of driving.
