Prohibition to use the phone while driving not effective

A study by the direct insurance company in the United States to review rules on the prohibition of mobile phone use while driving. The results were surprising. Car accident rate remains the same, before and after the rule is enforced.

Even more surprising, according to a study conducted direct insurance company, using hands-free as an alternative did not show differences in accident rate.
After reviewing the data related to the level of accident insurance in several states that already enforce the rule of law, compared with countries that do not have it, the accident rate remains the same.

No different result, when a number of researchers compared the stack direct car insurance claims during the applicable rules of the ban and earlier, especially in New York, Washington DC, Connecticut, and California (USA).

Concluded that the law or legislation does not significantly affect the level of traffic accidents. In fact, the law does not reduce the accident rate, although we know that rule was enforced.
Previous studies which say that the call while driving increases the risk of accident as if it is not entirely accurate.

However, a study conducted Highway Loss Data Institute (HLDI) in Canada concluded the opposite. There, he added, the risk of accident increases fourfold.
So, these new findings is still not the same. Speaking of research about the risks of calling and SMS while driving is not always the same in all places.

In other countries similar rules have been enacted since the end of last year. They will provide sanctions for drivers who use the phone while driving a car.
Sanctions in the form of traffic tickets with penalties or jail sanctions. However, until now there is no local direct insurance company that examine the impact of the rules of this prohibition.
