What did they blame it on before cell phones. The percentage of drivers with cell phones has gone from almost 0% to over 99% in about 30 years. During the same period the number of traffic accidents has plummeted to all time lows.


I suspect the reason accidents are down is because of draconian DUI laws compared to 30 years ago. Most of the drinkers that I know do it at home or with a designated driver.....they don't take any chances because it is simply not worth it.....and that is with it at 0.08. In my state, Georgia, it is illegal to text and drive but the fines are pretty mild compared to DUI. You do NOT want a DUI in Georgia these days.
