In fact this incident was covered in a lengthy Police program a while ago. It was amazing the forensics the Police used to study the crash. They could even tell whether a car's brake lights were on at the time. The lorry's were not so they worked out that he had hit the stationary car at 60mph :shock: The car was unrecognisable.

I wonder if tonight's Traffic Cops "Fatal Distraction" is a repeat of the above episode. BBC1 21:30

I can't believe they're trying to ban mobiles.
Next they'll be telling me I can't put on my lipstick in the rear-view mirror when I'm driving.
