I have found two contradictory studies on the detriments of cell phone use and driving. University of California, Berkeley, announced research that claims there is no correlation between cell phone use and car crashes, whereas the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Virginia Tech says cell phone use distracts drivers.
I called AAA and they did not give me any information over the phone, but did give me two websites. They are iihs.org and www.nhtsa.dot.gov. Has anyone contacted anyone from these organizations or already looked it up?
