In turns out those forcing drivers to use a hand free device have not decreased traffic accidents in any way. A study of four jurisdictions by the Highway Loss Data Institute revealed that traffic accidents have not declined after the law was passed regarding the use of mobile devices will driving. The department of Transportation disagrees. "It is irresponsible to suggest that laws banning cell phone use while driving have zero effect on the number of crashes on our nation's roadways," the agency said in a statement. ‘A University of Utah study shows that using a cell phone while driving can be just as dangerous and deadly as driving drunk.’ Too bad, because that is what the data shows. Either drivers are ignoring the new laws and continue to use their handheld while driving or talking on the phone is just as distracting as holding one. Arguably the most competent man in the United States Government, Ron Paul, once said, you can not pass a law of personal responsibility.
