Finally some empirical evidence that these bans don't stop crashes.
The IIHS (funded by a group of car insurers) compared crash data between
states that had instituted cell phone bans and those
it's cause no one pays attn to that and many other silly laws.

All but a few of the bans make it a secondary offense - the police
cannot stop the drivers just for being on the cell alone. It has to be
done in conjunction with other driving offenses. I would be much more
interested in the results if it were a primary offense instead, then
see the differences.

Ah, that's cool. I didn't know they had changed it from a secondary
offense to a primary. Looks like they changed that in 2010, good for
them. I'm all in favor of individual states doing things their own
way, by and large, but it is nice when driving-related laws are
uniform so you know what the
So it becomes a relatively easy test. compare rates before and after
in those states. Also compare those rates with nearby states and
provinces that do not make it a primary offense. If there are any
differences then that could show it.
