At this point, we all know how dangerous it is to use our cell phones while we're driving. But since 81% of us totally IGNORE all that and still talk while we're driving . . . here are even MORE stats about why it's the most dangerous thing we all do.
--According to Dr. Amy Ship . . . who works as a physician at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston . . . 28% of all car accidents in the U.S. are caused by someone using a cell phone while driving.
--And talking on a cell phone while driving is 400% riskier than driving undistracted.
--Ship also says that talking on a cell phone in the car is about as dangerous as driving while you're drunk or drugged up. (AOL Health)

Brad sys: You rarely see these studies point out the use of a headset. How is driving and talking on a wireless headset any different than talking to the person next to you?
