Do You Fear Me Now?

AITOOW wonders if cellular phones decrease the severity of car crashes? Everyone seems to feel they have the capacity to distract drivers. Which means more accidents, I'll stipulate. But, are those accidents less injurious than the accidents some of these people would cause if not "distracted" and driving like their usual selves (maniacally)? Every idiot I see on the phone seems to be doing 30 MPH. They probably will cause an accident at some point because of that phone. But, is it more often than not a fender bender? It's like the driving drunk versus stoned argument. I'm not against a ban. But, it is not because of the accidents. I hate the idiots going only 30 MPH and want them to die in a firey accident and that can't happen if they are distracted.
