Cell Phone Use While Driving Ups Crash Risk

Drivers who talk on a mobile phone are four times more likely to be involved in a serious crash, according to a new study.

Researchers found people who used a hands-free or regular handheld cell phone while driving were four times more likely to be involved in a serious crash within 10 minutes of the conversation.

Many states have enacted laws that prohibit using a handheld cell phone while driving in hopes of reducing the risk of accidents. But researchers say these results suggest that hands-free cell phone users are no safer. Ohio is currently trying to pass laws to prohibit cell phone use while operating a vehicle.

This is so surprisingly open-handed with you to offer without restraint all that a few people would have marketed as an e-book to earn some cash for themselves, especially considering the fact that you might well have done it in case you considered necessary. The smart ideas likewise served like the easy way to realize that other individuals have the identical desire the same as my own to realize a great deal more on the subject of this problem.
