Default heard this a.m. on radio

10% of traffic deaths (not accidents....but deaths) are caused by distracted driving according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The #1 cause of distraction is DAYDREAMING according to the NHTSA.

In "that other thread" about the Alton Cell Tower, forum folks cite the #1 reason for wanting cell phone coverage is to be able to call for help in case of an accident. It would be ironic if the reason for the accident were distracted driving due to a cell phone, texting, etc.
