May be so, but WRT involvement in serious accidents, the link appears tenuous. When NSW police did a blitz on the matter, they issued 42,000 fines but there were only 13 serious crashes linked to phone use over the same period.
To me, this is just yet another way to automate and therefore monetise police activity. If phone use isn't a major link to road trauma, but its only causing involvement in minor accidents, then it contradicts the police's position to not attend minor accidents. Either it's serious enough to warrant police interest, or it's not.
