A report from London is claiming that cell phone users are worse than drunk drivers.
“We were surprised to discover that talking on a mobile phone is actually more dangerous than being drunk behind the wheel. In effect this means that 10 million drivers are partaking in a driving activity that is potentially more dangerous than being drunk.”
Now, I’ve been to London twice. I can attest that the drivers there don’t need alcohol or cell phones to drive terribly.
Regardless, the insurance companies probably paid a great deal of money to produce these reports. For every safety measure the government forces upon the auto industry… measures that should LOWER insurance, they manage to substantiate, yet further spikes in premiums.
