Naravno, "correlation != causality" pa se ne moze tvrditi da je do (statisticki bitnog) povecanja broja udesa doslo zbog zabrane SMS-ovanja, ali SVAKAKO nije doslo do smanjenja, cemu su se politicari nadali - sto te zakone cini: besmislenim.
Hm... da nije mozda zato sto ljudi sada textuju "incognito" praveci time jos vecu potencijalnu distrakciju od voznje? :)
U svakom slucaju... jos jedan primer besmislenih regulativa i politicara koji u silnoj zelji da "urade nesto" zapravo postizu SUPROTAN efekat..

Car wrecks rise after texting bans imposed
Laws banning texting or talking on a mobile phone while driving don't reduce car accidents.
"In fact," concludes the US Highway Loss Data Institute, "[texting] bans are associated with a slight increase in the frequency of insurance claims filed under collision coverage for damage to vehicles in crashes."
This counter-intuitive revelation comes from a study by the HLDI, which compared insurance-claim data in states that enacted texting bans with the same data in states where no such laws exist. Data from after the bans took affect was also compared to stats before the bans took effect.
Texting bans did not reduce accident rates, and in some states the accident rates increased after the bans went into effect. "In California, Louisiana and Minnesota," the HDLI reports, "the bans are associated with small but statistically significant increases in collision claims (7.6%, 6.7%, and 8.9%, respectively)."
Ho ho ho... sta li ce sada reci "do something - think of children!" brigada :) Ah da, verovatno ce zakopati ovo negde duboko, i nastaviti sa spinovanjem kako se "trude - i usvajaju zakone koji povecavaju bezbednost".
Zaboga, sta bi mi bez njih... :)
Ah da...
The HLDI offered one possible reason for the rise in accidents after texting bans: "This unexpected consequence of banning texting suggests that texting drivers have responded to the law, perhaps by attempting to avoid fines by hiding their phones from view. If this causes them to take their eyes off the road more than before the ban, then the bans may make texting more dangerous rather than eliminating it."
Ma nema sanse... mora da je telekomunikacioni lobi umesao svoje prste... 3ABEPA!
