Early morning ponder: Phone "safety" [Purp]
The National Safety Council estimates 24% of highway crashes are cell phone or texting related.
There were over 5M crashes in 2010, ~30k of those involving a fatality.
We've got our priorities straight, so naturally we put all our national focus on mass shooting events that kill on the order of the same number of people that lightning does each year.
Cell phones/texting - over 1M crashes/yr, ~7k fatalities.
