Study finds no link between car accidents and yapping whilst driving

Filed under: ,

If you’re ready for a healthy dose of unconventional wisdom, you’ve come to the right place, as a couple of confident graduate student economists at UC-Berkeley are purporting that there is “no match in the evening cellphone use spike and crash data.” Basically, the duo is suggesting that although we’ve been on the mobile horn a lot more these days, the number of fatal vehicular accidents over the past 18 years have not experienced the same leap. Weird logic, we know, so take it for whatever it is (or isn’t) worth.
