well it depends if your texting someone and your driving at the same time then you may cause 1 or if your talking to someone on the phone while driving but instead of you holding it you can put it on loud speaker and put it like on the passenger seat if its not taken and talk to the person who's on the phone and listen to them while your driving but keep your eyes on the road and for any 1 else who's in the car and is not driving then no it cant cause an accident

Another View: No. It is the drivers USING the cellphones who cause the accidents.
