As if we needed more reminders not to drive distracted
Turns out distraction looks like a factor in that horrible train crash in Spain. The Independent reports that
The driver of a train that derailed last week, killing 79 people, was on the phone and reading a document as he travelled at 95mph (153kph) before the crash, a court was told.
Francisco Jose Garzon de Amo was allegedly... answering a call from the state rail company, Renfe, and consulting a paper document at the time. The driver is charged with negligent homicide.
I know I go on about this, but it's really important.
