Yeah, more people are far more distracted by eating, smoking, or beautification while driving than cell phones.

If it weren't for stupid people, we wouldn't need laws. Just think of how many out of work politicians we'd have laying around, clogging up the arteries of society.

Well, maybe if there weren't so many accidents resulting from texting and driving we wouldn't need stupid laws.

Are there really more accidents caused by this than by, say, dicking around with the radio, eating a Whopper (tm), or talking to other passengers?

I think the answer is "yes" (at least as a percentage of time spent doing those activities) -- with the Whopper eating coming in second.
