I don't have my head in the sand. I see lots of motorists. Most drive just fine, some don't. I see lots of drivers using cell phones. I don't see poor driving having any relationship to cell phone use. I don't have a conniption every time I see a driver holding a cell phone to his/her ear.

I do read on BF a lot of wailing and gnashing of teeth from posters who see a cell phone and assume the driver is not aware and is more likely to harm cyclists but little to no evidence of accidents caused by such use.

I put most of this hue and cry not to legitimate worry about bicycling safety but much more to another emotional car/motorist bashing exercise that passes for bicycling advocacy on this list.
