But they should treat it the same as DD, much more dangerous especially texting.

Drivers using mobile phones were responsible for 33 deaths in 2017, according to new figures (32 in 2016).
Between 1979 and 2014 an average of 666 people were killed in drink driving related accidents in Great Britain each year and an average of 3,551 people were seriously injured in drink driving related accidents.

ZM - //I doubt that there are sufficient discrepancies to make up the rather large difference between DD stats and phone stats//
I think you're right. The other thing to take into account is the fact that the phone-user is only dangerous whilst on the phone whilst the drunk is dangerous for the whole trip.

It's well meant, but it won't stop people doing it. More drivers use their phones in their cars now than they ever did. At the moment, if you are caught, you are very, very unlucky. And people know that. But it might work. All the measures that have been tried so far have had little impact. We'll see.
