MADD & SADD About the Obvious needing study

US Withheld Data on Risks of Talking At the Wheel

Recently an article entitled “Distracted Drivers” told of how The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration withheld a request to study the dangers of cell phone usage while driving.

Wow, imagine highway safety experts needing to spend multiple millions to see if driving with a cell phone to one’s ear is dangerous. Folks, you need to be brain dead if you think this needs investigation. The news shouldn't be that a request to spend many millions on research wasn't made; the story should be that our so called safety experts actually considered studying it in the first place.

Here’s a hint: If the driver in front of you is traveling 20 mph slower than everyone else on your road, 9 times out of 10, he is talking on his cell phone. And, yes driving slow relative to other drivers is just as dangerous as driving faster than everyone else. See Highway Safety Law #1, Relative Speeding from last week’s posting.

This was news??

Hopefully our SADD and MADD members, trying to arrive alive, know talking on cell phones while driving is like sky diving in terms of risk.
