Is the use of a cell phone a risk factor for accidents?
Yes, cell phones are a source of distraction for drivers. In fact, anything that can distract drivers from their main task, which is to concentrate on the road, increases the risk of accident (talking with a passenger, smoking, eating, adjusting the radio, etc.). That is why the use of a hand-held cell phone is prohibited while driving.
