    It’s the smartphones. I’m in TN, and every time I’m out on the road I see a ton of people devoting most of their attention to their phones while driving. I’ve even seen the cops here driving and texting 😐.

        I don’t get that. Why not just do a regular call? Do people actually like seeing a shaky image of the person walking on a random street?

      The US is outpacing other developed countries with just as much smartphone use. Perhaps their drivers are better or enforcement is stronger, but part of it is probably also that the average mass, hood height and other stats of US cars are exploding far more than in other countries, as we buy more SUVs and pickups
