A new report by the Highway Loss Data Institute, an arm of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, says that states that enacted bans on using cell phones while driving haven't seen any notable changes in happening reports.

"The laws aren't reducing crashes, even though we know that such laws have reduced hand-held phone use, and several studies have established that phoning while driving increases crash risk," says Adrian Lund, president of both the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and HLDI.

So take from this what you will. Anything that gets drivers to pay more attention to actually driving seems like a win in our book.
