The proliferation of cell phones - more than 100 million people in the U.S. have them - coupled with recent fatal accidents that al legedly involved the use of hand-held phones, has some legislators ready to lower the boom against the trend of talking while driving. The Public Safety Committee held an informal bearing last week 01) ; the dangers of using a cell phone while driving, a precursor to a "comprehensive, responsible" bill Senate Chainnan James Jajuga promises to ftle in December that seeks to restrict - and possibly eliminate - the use ofcell phones by drivers. The problem here is, there's no conclusive proof that cellular phones ,.., are to blame for a statistically significant number of accidents. Armed Ii with mostly anecdotal evidence and "fuzzy math" statistics, Jajuga sug gested the dangers ofcell phones might best be mitigated by following the lead ofa New York county, which completely banned the use of hand-held cell phones in cars. But Jajuga and other supporters ofthe measure were met by a steady stream oftestifiers who urged lawmakers to back down from the tough stance. David Ropeik, director ofrisk communication for the Harvard Center ofRisk Analysis, told the com mittee that while cell phones "definitely" pose a risk, the danger is inuch smaller than many commonplace encounters. .: ... Indeed, Ropeik pointed out the risk of being killed while using a \JA'Jf GtlANWN9@titVMfTRo\f.J~1' OAlL'< New~' :..: cell phone in a car is about 6.4 in I million - eight times less risky than driving without a Seatbelt and five times less risky than driving LETTERS drunk once per month.
