How many of you are scientists; how many of you are morons?

It's a myth that cellphone use caused the accident rate to rise in the USA

The only place that myth exists is in stupid people's minds, 
since the main proponents of the myth are those with money to gain, 
namely (a) injury lawyers, (b) insurance companies & (c) ticketing police.

In the accurate US Census Bureau records, what do you see happening to the
accident rate before, during and after the meteoric rise in cellphone
ownership in the United States?

What do you see?

Look at first-order effects, i.e., the accident rate per year.

What do you see happening to the rate during skyrocketing cellphone days?

HINT: US Accident rates trending down were wholly unaffected by cellphones.
