Actually though, I do not like eating and driving. I may be doing some road trips in the semi-near future, but I imagine I will pull over to eat if I am hungry.

Of the big events you cover in Europe yearly henk, which is the longest drive for you guys?
Monaco, about 1300 km. We do one refuelling stop and stuff bread and drinks for the trip.

RE: Text Messaging Car Accident

Hello this is amazing video. Using cell phones during driving is really dangerous. Its against driving rules. People must learn proper driving lessons and follow traffic rules.

Guy filmed this "texting while driving" for evidence after calling the cops on the bozo. Several lucky escapes.

From his "ohmygodohmygod" voice-over you would think it was him that got hit.
Seriously, the first car was really lucky. Head-on collisions aren't pretty.

If that was in the UK our police would no doubt charge the guy filming for using his phone while driving

Seeing people on their cell phones, and texting while driving, has taken the fun out of driving for me.

I have test driven the 6 speed manual and multifrive 1.33 versions of the iQ3. I thought it was a great drive with both.
Superb innovation and style make this a chic and desirable small urban car.

We have heard of teenagers using otter plan their own "blackout periods texting" so they can get homework done without feeling separated from their social networks. If a teenager uses Otter like that, then we believe that they see the benefits of road safety otter. We will not stop until change hits our roads and not only our laws. Give us your feedback.

I get extremely irate when i see drivers texting - not as much as i do when i see ladies applying their makeup whilst driving. Once though i saw someone who appeared to be reading whilst driving which shocked me to say the least! This was before all phones had cameras though, so i didn't have the opportunity to film him.

the request to send a dollar to something, almost makes me think that this little video was staged...
On the other hand there are enough idiots around who would do something like that...
