Cell phone ban & road safety

Jalopnik has published a post questioning the logic of cell phone driving bans.  One point made was: “…as cellphone use has gone up, crashes have continued to decline.”

Also:

“…economists offer three possible takes. People who start talking while driving become more cautious. People who act like jackholes behind the wheel with a cellphone will act the same without one. And although cellphones clearly distract some drivers, they may also help other drivers stay alert.”
