GSMs A Driving Hazard !!!!!

• What happened ?
• A driver was using his GSM while going home from
  work. Suddenly, before he realized it, he was
  surprised by A BANG!
• A major accident. Two cars were badly damaged.
  The injured persons were taken to hospital and
  their situation was very critical.
• This accident did not cause death. But it could
  have!
• How/Why can a GSM cause an accident ?
• Using a GSM while driving makes one forget
  himself/herself because it is very difficult to
  focus on two things at the same time.
• Controlling the vehicle with one hand and using
  the other to hold the GSM is not practical, it
  can cause the vehicle to get out of control.
• A driver tends to slow down which irritates other
  drivers and makes them do unsafe things.
• What can you learn from this accident ?
