I voted elderly, teens, and cell phone users, but not in that order. A lot of it does depend on the driver, I've talked on my phone for years while driving, but never had an accident while doing it. The only major accident I've had was while i was a teen, came upon a turn doing about 90 mph.
Elderly people tend to go slow enough that they become a moving hazard on the road. Teens go fast enough that they become a barely visible blur on the road, combine those two categories with cell phone use and your asking for trouble.
I consider myself to be a good driver, not neccesarilly a legal or courteous one, but I do know what I'm doing, where my car is at, and where people are around me. I know how to handle my car and what its limits are. I also know how to alter my driving as the environment changes, I'm one of the slowest drivers you'll see on the interstate in heavy rain, heavy fog, or snow.
