You two know each other? Mind you - the first thing I thought of when I read Brianf's comment was the Darwin Awards :) Does anyone know what the driver was typing at the time? Maybe he was Googling "how to drive a car"? BTW, Offspring - what are you doing in the UK? You were home the last time I spoke to you? So Michele and Offspring think alike. You two know each other?

BTW, Offspring – what are you doing in the UK? You were home the last time I spoke to you?

My personal is my personal car. If I want to smoke in it I will and anyone trying to stop me must be on some really interesting drugs - maybe they should share? :) As you rightly pointed out, there are plenty of things that people do in cars that are far more dangerous than smoking. How could anyone even consider typing on a laptop while driving at speed? Darwin Award anyone? Michele Are they on crack?

The Darwin Theory sorts those people out nicely. I bet insurance companies even endorse cerial bowls for the purpose!!!

Collins, Colorado wherein the DRIVER of the Honda car was typing away on his laptop, at 65mph, when he crashed and died. I shall not comment on that other than to say, Ignorance should be Painfull. If only we could take that little saying and apply it to politicans and gub'mint employees. There was an accident the other day in Ft.

I have heard tales of people who have been lifetime match-users being given expensive lighters as presents - they promptly throw them out the car window out of habit! Incidentally, before anyone says anything: if Herself goes to throw a fag end out of the window I always wind up the window [the joys of remote control] to stop her. I <em>hate</em> people who throw fag ends, and even worse, their cellophane and the like out the window. That's what ash-trays are for. Thank God for that!!!

Back in my college days I had a pipe, bet it wasn't the kind you're using though! ;-) I never threw it out the window either... contents were too expensive, but had the cops come by might have had to!!!
