Is the iPhone more dangerous for drivers?

The New York Times reports that a study confirms "Texting Lifts Crash Risk by Large Margin". The effect, it seems, is primarily due to the fact that drivers look at their phones for a few seconds at a time.

Would this imply that cellphones with touch screens, and thereby no tactile feedback when dialing out, are more dangerous than others?




Yes, but both are a bad idea.


yes, lets be honest here.
