How many of those 64% had their accident because of phones/drugs/recklessness and claimed to be distracted instead? With all the liability and shame involved in fatal crashes there's absolutely no way people are going to honestly self report illegal behavior.

Phones definitely fall in that category. I’m guessing they are the majority, but I don’t know how to substantiate that.

Hopefully police are figuring out that one of the parties in the accident is high while they do the interview.
