    I think this has to be the silliest statement! And then there's one
    where someone says it lowers your response time to that of being
    drunk. A recent study has shown that cell phones are 5th on the list
    of distracting behavior while driving accounting for only 5% of
    accidents. Check out this site for more:
    content.health.msn.com71477.htm.

    In order the offending distractions are as follows:

    Rubbernecking 12% Looking at scenery 10% Passenger of child distraction 9% Adjusting radio, tape
    player, CD 7% Cell phone use 5%

    As for becoming senile -- There are those who overuse the mobile phone. Maybe they were senile to
    begin with.

    5% is enough to result in the deaths of hundreds of people every year.
