Can you explain why the accident rate hasn't dramatically increased during the time period when cellphone usage has exploded? (I used accident rate, because injury or fatality rates are affected by such things as medical improvements, seat belts, airbags, and such - but what improvements for preventing accidents have there been during time we have seen the rapid increase in cellphone usage?) The HCRA does "analysis(sic) risks" and their study speaks for itself. http://blog.wired.com/27bstroke6/fil...nalysis_study_ on_cell_phones.pdf It speaks for itself? What does it say? did you read it? Did the study indicate at all how they arrived at their conclusions? "But because the data on cell phone use by motorists are still limited, the range of uncertainty is wide. The estimate of fatalities ranges between 800 and 8,000, and the estimate of injuries is between 100,000 and 1 million." "³While there is still a lot of uncertainty, the central values indicate that, in economic terms, a ban on the use of cell phones by drivers would be a wash when comparing the benefit of reducing crashes against the cost of eliminating those calls,² Cohen said." Is there anywhere in that document you referenced that indicated an analysis of the probability that a driver easily distracted by a cellphone wouldn't have been also easily distracted by something else if the cellphone wasn't being used? You won't even bother with a simple google search which a child could perform because it might go against what you've already made up your mind about. You don't have a clue wrt my motivations. Show my some actual evidence not some popular myth and I'll be happy to support appropriate restrictions on cellphone usage. -- Bob Noel (goodness, please trim replies!!!) |

You sure jump to a lot of conclusions for a person who pretends to be an expert at analytical thought. I don't believe NTHSA even tracks total accidents by number. Well, you are wrong.

By simply pointing to the accident rates one can't draw such conclusions either way. Attempting to do so is childish.

"³While there is still a lot of uncertainty, the central values indicate that, in economic terms, a ban on the use of cell phones by drivers would be a wash when comparing the benefit of reducing crashes against the cost of eliminating those calls,² Cohen said." Try reading this passage a bit more carefully and note the term "in economic terms". Is there anywhere in that document you referenced that indicated an analysis of the probability that a driver easily distracted by a cellphone wouldn't have been also easily distracted by something else if the cellphone wasn't being used? Is there anything to indicate it wasn't? A competent risk analysis would certainly take into account those factors and I have no reason to suspect theirs wasn't a competent analysis. This is precisely why I prefer letting people like you do their own research. When proof is provided, you want to poke holes in it by bringing up countless what if scenarios that are irrelevant, if not to the point of ridicule. It simply shows that when faced with evidence you can't refute on a reasonable level, you will just resort to the unreasonable. It's certainly not going to change your mind. So why should I waste my time providing proof of something you're never going to accept anyway? You won't even bother with a simple google search which a child could perform because it might go against what you've already made up your mind about. You don't have a clue wrt my motivations. Nor do I care really. Show my some actual evidence not some popular myth and I'll be happy to support appropriate restrictions on cellphone usage. Personally I could care less what you do or don't support. Not once have I advocated banning or not banning cell phones, so neither do you have a clue about my motivations or what I support or don't. |
