There are actually many factors that come into play in an accident. For example, the weather, the driver's emotional state, road conditions, other drivers, unfamiliar surroundings, mechanical problems, inability to focus on details and react quickly, or even just poor conduct in general. “Using a hands-free phone in the car can be about the same distraction as using a cell phone, as can having another person in the car. It’s not the phone that’s the problem, it’s the ability to pay attention” (“Should we ban all use of cell phones in cars?”). As stupid as it sounds, people can't blame an inanimate object for an accident.
