It's not the numbers using mobiles while driving, but the numbers I see
having accidents as a result. I have a neighbour who demolished her own
garage door because she was actually using a mobile while reversing
(probably saying "I'm just coming down the drive now").

At Edinburgh Waverley, the other day, I observed a young woman come onto
the platform, stop, get her mobile phone out and call someone. She was
close enough for me to hear her say, "I'm just about to get on the train
and I'll be home in...", at which point she stopped, because the train
doors closed and off it went, leaving her looking rather flustered.

Maybe it really is true that mobile phone transmissions cook the brain.
