A land line just before departure, followed by a crash less than 10 minutes into the drive? (This would tie in well with the "agitated by the phone call" theory advanced by JC Dill...)
Oh, gawd. Now I have to go read it myself. You can track this down pretty easily at the BMJ site, bmj.com, and download a PDF version. It's only 5 pages long. I don't see where they got that "one third of the calls" number above. As far as I can tell, the study only looks at mobile phone calls. As for the "inattentive-risky driver" and "agitated driver" theories, the researchers took (tried to take) this into acount by using a case-crossover design whereby individual drivers are their own control. Feel free to argue the results of the study, but read the study, not some confused newspaper summary, and please don't do it on NANOG. -- Crist J.
