Please quote verbatim the person here who allegedly subscribes to such a 
myth. No one claims ANYTHING involving 'accident rates', you're the ONLY 
one who keeps regurgitating the topic of accident rates continuously 
diverting the discussion to accident rates that no one beside you even 
mentions. Are you a cell-phone lobbyist by any chance tasked to disrupt 
any thread threatening the zillions of dollars made by associated 
hardware, software or datamining interests?

Their effect on accident rates is NOT known (yet). It will maybe be 
known after a decade or more of legislation forcing providers to track 
and record all cell-phone traffic in moving cars and police to 
cross-check, correlate if applicable and reference such database info 
when writing every single accident report the world over.

Accident stats including rates may include some but are NOT, never were 
nor will ever be all the facts or the facts, not even close.
