Laptop Causes Car Crash

"Authorities say a man who appeared to be driving while using his laptop computer died when his vehicle crossed into oncoming traffic..... Officers investigating the accident say they found the victim's computer still running and plugged into the cigarette lighter of his Honda Accord."

The article doesn't specifically state whether the driver was using the computer while driving or not so I won't assume the worst. But the key take-a-way is to always give your full attention to operating a vehicle.

Holding a cell phone or using a handheld device or computer while driving is putting your safety at risk and more importantly also endangering the safety of other people.

Be smart. And remember, friends don't let friends compute and drive!!!
