There are some staggering stories of people using mobile phones whilst driving, texting, even emailing!

I seem to spot more people than ever driving and on the phone. Fortunately, Bluetooth is becoming more common as a built in feature in the car, and more people are taking to it.

Throughout the week I see plenty of people on the phone (illegally) whilst driving. I once saw someone going round Hyde Park Corner filling in a form on the steering wheel – hummm!

The UK.gov is also launching a press campaign to help highlight the real dangers of texting and talking at the wheel. According to their research, 30% of young drivers do it.

For those wanting to see a crash caused by sheer stupidity – here you go (there maybe a 30 second ad from MSNBC at the start, but stay with it).
