Sorcha you don't know what the hell you are talking about. I drive 65,000 to 75,000 miles a year. I will happily put my driving/accident record against anyones. And if you want to figure it out per mile driven, my record is exemplary.

You need to make the distinction between pros and amateurs. First off, I don't make gratuitous phonecalls. I use it when I need to. Second, when I am on the phone I automatically go into a very observant mode. Comes with the turf of driving the kind of miles I do.

Now, how many times as I have been driving down the road all those miles, have I witnessed women putting on makeup or curling their hair? How many times have I witnessed men reading books while driving or working crossword puzzles? Far too many.
