That may be the case with certain events, but not in general. I think earthquakes release built-up tension, which takes time to build up again.

Your first link disagrees with your point:

If I'm on the phone while I'm driving, I'm driving first. You'll never see me drift out of my lane, fail to use turn signals, or neglect to look around. If I see people walking around, have poor visibility, or find myself in any remotely risky situation (i.e. not a wide-open straight road) - I ignore the person talking or hang up. You can always ask them to repeat themselves or call back later. I've never been in an accident or come close to causing one.

Drunk driving on the other hand, is completely unacceptable. I would never try it. You can ignore the person on the phone or hang up. You can't turn off drunkenness.
