Drivers fear cellphone users more than drunks

According to a survey released by the California Office of Traffic Safety, motorists consider phone users more dangerous than speeders, tailgaters or drunken drivers. Those fretting about drivers using cellphones more than doubled from a year ago, to 39 percent, a "dramatic" increase, according to safety officials. And though 55 percent claimed they didn't once hold a phone while driving in the past month, 46 percent say they have made driving mistakes while talking on cellphones, and 60 percent say they have been hit or nearly hit by other drivers who were talking or texting.
