Your cellphone is killing 2,600 per year, well ok not YOUR cellphone, but
folks using cellphones. from http://tinyurl.com/6yeam

Cell phone distraction causes 2,600 deaths and 330,000 injuries in the
United States every year, according to the journal's publisher, the Human
Factors and Ergonomics Society.

Drivers talking on cell phones were 18 percent slower to react to brake
lights, the new study found. In a minor bright note, they also kept a 12
percent greater following distance. But they also took 17 percent longer to
regain the speed they lost when they braked. That frustrates everyone.

"If you put a 20-year-old driver behind the wheel with a cell phone, their
reaction times are the same as a 70-year-old driver who is not using a cell
phone," said University of Utah psychology professor David Strayer. "It's
like instantly aging a large number of drivers."

"Once drivers on cell phones hit the brakes, it takes them longer to get
back into the normal flow of traffic," Strayer said. "The net result is they
are impeding the overall flow of traffic."
