I counter this alarmist journalism with the following event, whose like I see frequently (like today)
https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/public-safety/driver-of-jeep-that-killed-5-month-old-may-have-been-on-phone-court-records-say/2016/09/06/ced82f2e-7462-11e6-8149-b8d05321db62_story.html?hpid=hp_local-news_jeep-930am%3Ahomepage%2Fstory
A witness told authorities that the driver of a Jeep that struck and killed a 5-month-old boy in a stroller in Loudoun County sped up before the collision and may have been looking at his phone, according to a court document…
Now, a witness quoted in an affidavit for a search warrant filed in Loudoun Circuit Court said the driver, a 45-year-old Leesburg man, “turned at the last second.”
The witness, who was “traveling directly” behind the Jeep, according to the affidavit, told police he “observed the male driver of the Jeep through the rear window holding a phone in his left hand as if he was watching or reading something” before the crash.
