Deaths On The Roads

Sir, - Some recent sightings: Male, Dublin Bus double-decker driver on mobile phone while negotiating 90-degree corner.

Female car driver, with Walkman earphones in situ, gesticulating wildly with both hands. Car presumably on auto-pilot while driver in orbit.

Person of indeterminate gender holding mobile phone in one hand and hairbrush in other while car in motion.

Should self-induced deafness and deliberate self-distraction be outlawed while driving mechanised vehicles? Also spotted recently, appropriate rear window sticker: "Designed by computer. Built by robot. Driven by moron". - Yours, etc.,
