We are definitely opposed to bans on cell phones that don't meet our requirements. Though AAA does not campaign against bills, spokesman Mantill Williams says the organization does testify at legislative hearings when asked. But it's more of an educational issue than a legislative issue. The USA has more than 112 million wireless-phone users. However, very few studies have been done on how many crashes and deaths are caused by people talking on cell phones.
Interpretations vary of studies that have been done.
Those against regulating cell phone use in cars say data show a small percentage of accidents involve cell phones. Those in favor of the bans say the data aren't accurate. Either police don't note when a cell phone is involved, or people lie about using them during an accident, advocates of the bans say.
