Texting and Driving. All the really cool idiots are doing it!

The accident rate has gone up in Alberta since the distracted driving law came into effect. Politicians only look at the revenue as do the insurance companies in particular. Think of all the increased premiums they are getting

Is the law causal to the accident rate? Are Albertans generally rebellious?
Any way, healthcare is quite expensive. AB spent 17 billion in the fiscal year of 2012/13 and I'd suggest a lot of that was because of injuries from car crashes where inattention was the main factor. Then there's the stuff spent privately. I wonder how much premiums went up and how much the gov't received in fines.
Anyway, are you arguing or just posting info? Curious.

He crawled out of that car awfully fast. It makes me wonder if he was not wearing a seatbelt either.
