You thought texting while driving was bad? How about running a suite of machines like an office while on the move? Here is one such case where it blows everything we preach about driver distraction. Police stopped this above Ford Modeo in Saarland, Germany, for speeding and when they peeped in this is what they saw in the passenger seat – a laptop with docking station, a router and wi-fi antenna tied to a cellular data stick, a printer and a power inverter to keep it all humming. For what it is worth, the German police did not issue any citations for the Mondeo driver for any violations . Maybe because he had his cellphone mounted to the windshield for hands-free use. yes. That’s right. He at least had the sense to leave his cellphone mounted on the dashboard. (via Motoramic – Yahoo! Autos)

Interesting to know how Chilliwack, Canada enforces its no-cell-phone-use-behind the wheels law. True story! Redditor mlane201 shared this picture and reading through the comments he shared, I came to know how it is done – Constable Martell will be on the watch holding this sign by a roadside, looking for drivers using their cellphones while operating the vehicle. Once Constable Martell spots an offender, he will radio in his colleagues who are sitting a little father up the road and they will comfortably pull over the offending driver and issue the tickets. Pretty nifty strategy there, right?

This new documentary, produced by AT&T, one of the leading telecom services provider in the US, strings together a set of stories told by accident victims and their families and friends. The documentary, at times high on the emotional quotient, offers a compelling message to any/all drivers, let alone the teenagers, to hang up their cellphones while operating the motor vehicles. There is no blood or gory mess splashed across the windshield but the stories along with the photos of mangled metal and shattered lives is quite riveting. Kudos to AT&T and other public and private agencies who have been actively engaged in promoting awareness among teens about the dangers of texting while driving.
