The French interior minister Nicolas Sarkozy held a conference on June 30th where he mentioned the case of a woman who attempted to send a SMS while driving at over 100 mph. She plowed into a police car on the roadside, killed two policemen and badly wounded two more. The minister said “for a text message, five families are now shattered”.
