Though some places are passing laws only allowing hands-free talking while driving that isn’t enough. Studies have shown that a hands-free is just as distracting as holding the phone to your ear.
Hopefully this kind of message sinks in. It isn’t just texting it is all distractions, looking at the iPod, adjusting the radio, smoking etc. etc.

This happened in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada and is reported in the Calgary Herald
A 21-year-old Edmonton man driving 190 kilometres an hour in a 70 km/h zone this week had the misfortune to zoom right past an unmarked police car.
Police spokeswoman Patrycia Thenu said the man was driving his newer model Audi erratically Thursday night and flashing his headlights in the rear-view mirrors of cars he approached, including the unmarked car.
He pulled over immediately when the officer turned on his emergency equipment and was co-operative with the officer, Thenu said.
Thenu said the man wasn’t on alcohol or drugs. he was issued a speeding ticket and will have to appear before a judge.
Nothing unusual with that kind of driving in Kuwait, you see that kind of driving all the time! Of course you also see horrible wrecks too.

Interesting comments on it on Slashdot
I forget where I read about it today.
I’ve seen photos and there is a brief clip of it in the Imax movie here about the oil fires.
The Hungarians replaced the turret from an old Russian tank with 2 turbines from a Mig 21. Water is injected in the exhaust, they throttle up and distinguish the fire.
For more interesting uses of jet engines and where I found this video see this post.
