Is the iPhone more dangerous for drivers?

2 pointsby shorbajialmost 16 years ago
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.<p>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.
