Seems that banning use of cellphones by drivers is.....ahhh........useless.
“Our main result was that we found no evidence that the California
cellphone ban decreased accidents,” Colorado University economics
Professor Daniel T. Kaffine, one of the lead autors of the study, said
in a statement...." --The Newspaper quoted at Hot Air
And that was not a one-off.
...Though offsetting for safety advocates, Kaffine’s research is in line
with other findings. The Highway Loss Data Institute, the research arm
of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, studied insurance claims
rates in 2009 and 2010 studies, and found no link that bans helped
decrease crashes....quoting AutoBlog
OK, so let's see how fast the useless laws are repealed.
Hint: don't hold your breath.
They'll be repealed on the 58th of Never, 2 weeks after speed limits are set according to scientifically safe criteria instead of mostly for maximum revenue generation.
