BBC1 @ 2030hrs 21/07/2014 taken from the BBC website:

"Every day five people die on Britain's roads - but they seldom make headlines. Is this complacency leading to a lack of justice for victims and their families? Tonight's Panorama investigates whether a change to the driving laws has seen our justice system go soft on dangerous driving and questions whether in car technology is driving us to distraction behind the wheel."

Every day far more people are killed by medical errors. Perhaps the BBC anti car t**ts could take a look at that. And every winter 20,000 die as a result of the cold, perhaps the AGW BBC could look into this too.

I'd love to hear a clear, logical reason why anyone should need to access Facebook whilst driving a car.

Personally, I'd say the same about taking a phone call, but I can see why some might disagree. But Facebook?
