They're also assuming that the spike in the use of mobiles comes solely or primarily from people driving. That won't necessarily hold true.
And if the majority of people contributing to the spike in usage aren't driving, then you would be unlikely to see any sort of corroborative statistics regarding car accidents.

Now, I'm not saying that there won't be an increase in people using phones whilst driving in the aforementioned period but, as I have pointed out, there's no proof as to who the people are who are using the phones, so it's just one more convenient assumption on their part which has lead to this spectacular piece of 'research' we see before us.
