Officers would even need to note if a cell phone was present in the car, even if it wasn't being used at the time of the accident. An crash last year near Lodi is a good example of how distracting and dangerous it can be to talk and drive at the same time. A teenage driver crashed her car while trying to hang up her phone. She was killed and her passenger was critically injured. CHP officer say cell phone use is just one of many things distracting drivers nowadays.
People can actually have personal computers.
They can set up printers. People are drinking coffee. If the bill does become law, the statistics from accident reports would be studied by the Office of Traffic Safety. The results would be used for a variety of purposes, including framing future cell phone laws.
