Being in the auto insurance claims industry, I have to say cell phones rank right up there in the top three........they may not be the sole reason for an accident, but surely contribute to it, following too closely is the other major cause, not matter what state your in.......

I average about 50,000 miles a year in my company car and in the last 11 years have pretty much seen it all...........I've seen women driving at speeds of 70mph + using their knees to steer while applying make-up in the rear view mirror and talking on a cell phone at the same time.........I gave seen way too many people reading the news paper or other printed material while driving and still others just looking at and chatting with passengers.......seems everyone is in a big hurry and not paying much attention to the act of safe driving.................
