Are smartphones not available in Europe?

  There are other circumstances that can account for the same relationship not being as prevalent in Europe. Here, for example, cars intermingle with bicycles all the time, at pedestrian crossings pedestrians always have the right of way and there are shared roads that are open both to vehicle and pedestrian traffic. The circumstances aren't great for getting into the habit of looking down at your phone while driving in the first place. It was still perceived to be a problem here, so now it's illegal. Anecdotally, cars in Europe on average also seem smaller than those in the US, and maybe a similar correlation for vehicle-pedestrian accidents exists but simply don't result as often in fatalities.
