Now that the Transportation Department has confirmed that Americans
are still driving less, even with lower gas prices (down 5.3 percent
in November alone as seen here
http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/ohim/tvtw/08novtvt/08novtvt.pdf ) I predict
places that have enacted restrictions on cell phone usage in cars,
particularly "hands-free" requirements, will attempt to claim that the
decline in accidents (caused by fewer miles driven) is due to these
cell phone restrictions.
