I'm fairly confident that more people cause wrecks because of cellphones than because they are drunk.

How much shall we put up?

Research indicates that using a mobile phone while driving is as dangerous as driving while intoxicated and mobile phone use while driving is far more prevalent than drunk-driving.[2] Talking and driving at the same time lowers the driver's reflexes, rendering them slower to react to and avoid other drivers.

how much would you like to put up? from wikipedia


edit: more evidence is out there, don't be a googletard

And from the same Wiki page:

A study in The New England Journal of Medicine reports that drivers who used mobile phones while driving were four times more likely to crash than those who don't, a rate equal to that for drunken driving at the 0.08 g/dL blood alcohol concentration (BAC) level.[citation needed]

Just think about all those drunk drivers with a BAC level higher than 0.08.

An experiment conducted by the American television show MythBusters concluded that use of mobile phones while driving poses a similar risk as someone operating a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol. [4]

And the website citation for what you posted is actually down / doesn't exist.
