Nothing wrong with it, I simply made the apples and oranges reference because people quote my references to no overall change, and hop to cell phone rants. If they disagree with my contention that the overall risks haven't changed enough to justify riding on the left, I'm ready to do it. OTOH if they want to argue about dealing with texting while driving, I'm willing to discuss that (up to a point). But they're separate and distinct arguments.
