Did the young man suffer face injuries from the cell phone?
In  the last five years I've been hit by 2 young people who were too
busy on their cell phones to drive. I at least had the satisfaction of
seeing one hauled to jail while handcuffed in the back seat and the
other to the hospital.
I did learn about seat belts from my dad, but what really convinced me
was high school physics (40 years ago). The forces involved are
incredible. Ever drop anything on your head while under a car? Bad
enough. Dash hitting your face- impossible to comprehend, but very bad!
