Now why the heck would they do that? From the New York Times, this really chafes me raw:
the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, decided not to make public hundreds of pages of research and warnings about the use of phones by drivers — in part, officials say, because of concerns about angering Congress.
Other info:
Research shows that motorists talking on a phone are four times as likely to crash as other drivers, and are as likely to cause an accident as someone with a .08 blood alcohol content.
I have always said cellphone drivers were as dangerous as drunks. Who knew I’d ever be right about anything?
