Sure, those pictures are always shocking yet have clear meaning.

But cellphones happened everywhere, and people get distracted by them. I’m sure that’s _a_cause of increased accidents almost everywhere

But the truck issue is purely US (or is Canada infected too?). So comparing trends for is data vs other countries is a cheap way of separating the effect of cell phones vs the effect of excessive trucks
