I understand what you're saying and in many situations you are likely correct, but if you have a moment please read another reply I made in this thread... "Many years ago when I was a kid, I was sitting at a stop light with my Dad. A car hit the last car in a line of six cars at a very high rate of speed. My Dad saw it coming and since we were the first car at the intersection he gunned it. The car behind us hit our truck but the impact was minimal. There were two deaths in the last two cars, and the passenger of the car behind us had minor injuries. I'm glad my Dad was paying attention (even though we were stopped) because it's likely I would have been injured since seat belts were not common back then. Our truck fared well and we actually gave someone a ride home from the hospital. I'll admit when I was younger I was not always the most attentive driver, but years of experience has taught me that when I'm driving, that's what I do, drive and nothing else. I don't just do this for me but for all of you as well."...The point I'm trying to make is there are to many variables that we cannot foresee. You can imagine a situation that someone has road rage against you for some unknown reason, or someone wants to jack your car. In that situation it could turn out that the moment you looked at your phone was the moment you were blindsided. There could also be a situation that something happens to someone in a neighboring car unbeknownst to you because in that moment you were looking at your phone, the light turns green and you drive off. I'm not claiming that I'm immune to this because I'm not, but I try, and I admit it can happen. Sorry for my crappy formatting.
