  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.
