I wish her a speedy recovery. A cell phone is an inanimate object. It can cause nothing. No new laws are even suggested by this incident, except to control freaks who refuse to take responsibility for their own actions. Cellphones don't cause car crashes.
Bad drivers do.
I suppose so, in a culture where nothing is anybody's fault anymore. U.S. agencies need to prepare a contingency plan before the next disaster strikes. Television footage of the survivors and the dead mother may cause some Americans to have doubts about the drug war. The market has done it's job, and the tobacco companies that weren't sued are selling cheaper cigarettes than big tobacco offered before the lawsuits. The law of unintended consequences in action.
