In our country (NL) there are similar laws and we *know* that use of mobile phones causes accidents, including with severe injury and death (like 4 people in a (other) car), because we keep detailed stats on circumstances, cause, etc.. 'Andrew' seems to have some problems with statistics, because the accident rate not going up (BTW, it *does* go up in our country) doesn't mean that use of mobile phones doesn't cause accidents (to anyone with a somewhat functioning brain, it's blatantly obvious that it does). *Why* he can't draw (t)his erronous conclusion, has been explained to him all the previous times his silly claim came up. Some people learn, others don't. > You are free to call the lawmakers and the entire police system morons. When 'Andrew' starts insulting, everyone knows he has no case, but can't handle/admit that fact.
