The so-called "up to 23 times more likely to cause an accident" is not a statistic study based on real sampling of phone use and driving in real life . . . because it's simply impossible to gather up all the data on how many minutes all americans were talking on the phone and driving, and divide that into all the minutes that they are driving. The "23 times" number is a misinterpretation of reaction time under clinical test conditions. That is a far cry from "statistcly more likely to cause an accident." It's a hypothetical number compared to test subjects under clinical conditions that are not engaged in listening to radio, talking to passenger, putting on make-ups, eating, drinking, shaving, and being anxious because they can not get in touch with their loved ones because of not being able to use a cell phone.
