I read at Gizmodo that French woman was 'texting" -- SMS instant messaging -- at 170 km/h and crashed into a police car, killing two policeman and some other bystanders.
I recall an moment of absolute terror when I narrowly escaped death while I (I admit it!) was IMing on my cell phone driving down 101 in California, because I didn't have the phone number for the person I was late to meet. I am now reformed. I pull over to IM.
