It does, it mentions Tennessee is accounting for 19% of cell-phone deaths with only 2% of the country's population. Tennessee being the only state really collecting the data on the form, means it's the most reliable data we have to extrapolate to the whole country.
It seems there is a factor of 10 of underreporting, which would lead to the actual number of cell phone deaths being closer to 4000, making this one of the major causes of death on the road.

Which only works if the rest of the country is like Tennessee - you'd have to show your working there. > It seems there is a factor of 10 of underreporting Where do you see that number? All I can find about underreporting is the unsubstantiated claim by Adkins.
- carlmr 9y agoDoes Tennessee have excessively more smartphones than the rest of the country? I'd say it's the best basis for extrapolating we have right now. We'd need tighter regulation, so that we can collect the data.
