If you are one of those douchebags (or know such a douchebag) who text while driving, then you need to check out this video. Potential drivers in Belgium were told they had to pass a “mobile phone test” in order to get their driver’s licenses. See how they did, inside.

Cellphone-Using Motorists In Cape Town May Have Mobiles Seized
11 Apr 2012 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Many of us are still really, really naughty about making phone calls and texting while driving. This despite the obviously dangerous distraction of cellphone usage behind the wheel. New reports show there has been a spike in the number of cellphone-related road accidents in South Africa recently – surprising, given how vigorously authorities are trying to clamp down on dangerous driving.

I was chatting about this with a good acquaintance last night who used to own a Mercedes AMG, and had since toned his taste down a bit because he had had a massive crash and didn’t want to own fast cars anymore. He said he’d kill himself yadda yadda. That logic is ridiculous, and I told him so.

Driving Simulators Do Not Simulate Driving
08 Jul 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 7 Comments
At the risk of sounding like a complete kill-joy, I just need to clear this up. I don’t mind a quick flurry on a console every once in a while, but I just can’t stand it when it’s referred to as driving or driving simulation. It’s like saying a war game is war simulation.

I imagine if you ask a racing driver what he thinks of Need For Speed 13, he will say the same thing.
