Mr Bill
Sure it is limited
but the limitation- just counting "deaths from crashes"( not MI's or being shot)
is a good thing
because deaths are easy to count-
severity of injuries-much much harder to measure

Yeah counting just deaths is a strength-
and crash deaths increasing more than increased exposure means you have to hunt up a plausible reason
and CAR CRASH DEATHS INCREASING-at the same times cars are being made much much safer more crash worthy
Clearly means something has changed dramatically-
TEXTING-
Plain as day

Name One other possible cause-that is anywhere near as likely??(OK I will-smoking weed or smoking weed while texting)
But the TEXTING RATE has increased a lot more than the smoking weed while driving rate-
and INCREASING DEATHS has pretty much followed explosion in TEXTING
Dopers smoking weed-has been with us for many years
