"Phone use is now killing more people than drunk driving" do you have a reference for that statement?
- ehnto 8y agoIt was from a credible news source in (and about) Australia, but I can't find the news programmes data source. I did however find data to the contrary for America, https://www.nhtsa.gov/press-releases/usdot-releases-2016-fatal-traffic-crash-data https://www.nhtsa.gov/press-releases/usdot-releases-2016-fat... So I am probably wrong in regards to US fatalities. There were articles from insurance companies saying that distracted driving is more likely to cause an accident (fatal or non) than drink driving. I assume they were using their own data for that so I am not sure how credible it is: https://www.thezebra.com/texting-and-driving-statistics/ https://www.thezebra.com/texting-and-driving-statistics/
