Re: It's a myth that cellphone use caused the accident rate to rise in the USA

If you believe that the accident rate in the USA has shown any direct

cellphones went from 0% saturation to nearly 100% in only a few years....
 
You're not going to find that supposed direct effect in the actual facts.
If you could, you would have by now.
Yet you didn't.
Because you can't.

That's because you did.

Take a look at the accident numbers for the entire world, by country.

If you select "accidents involving casualties" there clearly is a reversal
in the downward trend around 2010 in the US. The increasing trend continues
until covid and the latest data still shows greater numbers of accidents
since 2004.

Unsurprisingly - as it's typical of you - you didn't reply to my post where
I said this originally.

You can't dispute facts by saying all facts you don't like don't exist.

Likewise, and I've already told you this, absence of evidence is not proof
of evidence of absence.
