Good old Daily Mail. Having a fine old rant at yob culture is their excuse to use a pic featuring pert young t*ts. :)

Cell phone use while driving results in accidents involving death and injury counted in the millions every year. All UN employees are now banned from texting while driving.

Stat projections call for deaths by cell phone use in car to surpass the AIDS epidemic in the coming years.

DON'T TEXT WHEN YOU DRIVE, YOU MIGHT BE NEXT TO JOIN THE LIST.


"All UN employees are now banned from texting while driving."

Typical SMS exchange between UN officials…

“Can’t be solved!”

“Yes it can!”

“No it can’t!”

“Ah well… let’s go have another beer then!”

texting and driving is lame... drinking and driving is better if you wanna cause more damage :lol:

but what happens if your drinking, say, a can of coke while driving? can you get done for drinking and driving? it's not very specific...

can someone put it to the test by drinking a bottle of vodka and driving, and drinking a bottle of coke and driving and see which does more damage?
