Data find all cell phone use dangerous

Since 2003, federal officials withheld information that indicated using hands-free cell phones while driving was as dangerous as handheld phones, according to consumer groups who obtained the relevant documents.

In recent years, cities and states passed laws requiring drivers to use hands-free phones, but lacked the information the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration had in studying the issue, according to Public Citizen and the Center for Auto Safety. No state completely bans handheld and hands-free phones for all drivers, according to the Governors Highway Safety Administration.

People died in crashes because the government withheld this information, said Clarence Ditlow, Center for Auto Safety executive director. States passed laws and took action to restrict only handheld cell phone use assuming hands-free cell phones use was safe. The studies NHTSA concealed showed that all cell phone use is as hazardous as drinking and driving.

Lots of things are dangerous. Text messaging or surfing the net and driving are much worse.

The database, created by the Environmental Working Group in Washington D.C., ranks more than 1,000 cell phones by the amount of radiation they emit.
