I think we all agree that the average motorist is in fact far below average in ability. So if you take a below par ability then further reduce that ability with the distraction of phones, satnags, radios, coffee cup holders, make-up mirrors, mp3 players, pie eating etc. etc. then the result can be a really bad driver with 0% attention to the road ahead.
Technology to deactivate mobiles while the ignition is turned on gets my vote.
PS. I recently watched a horrific video on Youtube where a guy wipes out two pedestrians and hits a tree in his car. He ends up hanging out of the rear passenger window BUT CARRIES ON WITH THE PHONE CALL HE WAS MAKING. Easy to see where his priorities lay.
