how accident are cause each year due the use of cell phone?

Answer 1

I don't know the actual numbers unfortunately.

However - National safety statistics indicate that use of a cell phone (even on speaker phone/handless) causes a number of accidents similar to those caused by drunk driving...

Not so cool - and a good reason to have driving and talking banned.

Answer 2

When people answer or make calls and are thus distracted by the phone and are not looking or paying attention to the road. It's best to get a hands-free device (any cell phone store has them depending on the make and model one has) in order to help prevent accidents. But it's best not to dial or answer a cell phone while driving unless it's an emergency (a breakdown, a flat, etc.).

1st answer:
<"How accident(s) are cause(d) each year" >

Driving a vehicle uses the part of the brain that allows for seemingly "auto-pilot" responses to stimuli, in other words you head on down the road and your brain makes thousands of observations unnoticed by conscience thought, you drive while your conscience thoughts are; am i going straight, fast/slow enuff, correct direction to destination, while your unconscience mind does the "routine" things, moves your muscles, continue current actions, reacting to motion, sounds and visual input, it keeps the body ready to react, when nessasary, and is very very busy doing this unnoticed by you consciencely (ever notice how you can seemingly forget that you have traveled miles, thinking of mundane things, what the day will bring, who will bring it, should i break-up with my girl, does she love me, is it going to rain tommorrow), this brain activity allows you to drive and think, unnoticing the miles rolling by, it happens to be the same area of the brain that enables communication, talking, listening to others, either in your car or on the phone. The PROBLEM with cell phones can be that the other party is "unaware" you are getting prepared to navigate a turn onto a busy interstate full of other vehicles or that a car has stopped in front of you, and your brain is now juggleing both activities at once, when it is better suited for just one, either you miss the words spoken over the phone( no problem unless its your girl speaking her heart and you miss her point) or you miss noticing that the bridge is out( big problem! ). Point is others in the car can be aware of the upcoming traffic and stop talking, letting you CONCENTRATE on the road, the cell phone talker will just keep rattling off "her birthday wishes for sex at the motel, Northeast corner of W. 32nd and S. Main room #469 at 3:45"...so your brain overloads and picks to hear or see whatever it can, or can't, resulting in a terrible "Motor Vehicle Incident" or terrific "Sex", maybe just a blown tire if your lucky and just bump the curb...anyway, thats the way I "see" it... hands free or not, make a choice to be safe, use a condom!

2nd answer:


More than we will probably ever know, people tend to make EXCUSES for bad behavior, answering with a less than honest answer of what "caused" the wreck...

Answer 5

People are distracted from their driving by them. Reaching for, dialing or even just talking on a phone takes their mind of the road where critical seconds count causing accidents.

Answer 6

How many times have I come across drivers with their cell phone on their left ear and swerve to the left not knowing I was on that lane? Plenty of times.
