It will become illegal for anyone to pick up and use their mobile phone while driving, under new legislation to be enacted next year. The change will end a loophole that can allow drivers to escape punishment for using a hand-held phone to take a photo or play a game. Mobiles will still be able to be used to pay for a drive-through takeaway. And drivers will still be able to use devices hands-free under the plans, the Department for Transport said.

I can’t imagine how something as big as the ROOF NOT BEING ATTACHED could make it past quality control...

Imagine: You’re driving a car, and the driver ahead of you is behaving erratically. He can’t stay in a lane. He puts on his left turn signal but doesn’t turn. He slows to a near stop for no apparent reason, then surges forward. Finally, he makes a right turn from...

Pro Tip: Turn your volume down to save your ear drums a bit of vibration.

Cops may still write you a ticket for yakking on a handheld phone while driving. But the link between cellphone use and accidents looks more tenuous if you agree with the conclusions of a recent study from Carnegie Mellon University and the London School of Economics and Political Science. Using statistics and data comparisons, the researchers found that the increased use of cellphones has led to no measurable increase in accidents.

When I heard that Ron Howard was taking on similar material in straightforward dramatic form with Rush—a kind of joint biopic of ’70s Formula One stars Niki Lauda and James Hunt—I wondered if it was possible to make a movie about a death match between racing rivals without slipping into parody. But Howard has done it: Rush is an outsize Hollywood spectacle about two outsize personalities in conflict, a sleekly assembled thrill machine that makes up in excitement for what it lacks in nuance.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) says it will work to change its strategic plan to ensure the safety of the U.S.’s growing population of older drivers and passengers.

This week, the City of Westminster, one of London’s local councils, will start embedding the first of 3,000 sensors into the streets. They will be in the ground by the end of March, making London the world’s first major city to adopt the long-heralded “smart parking” revolution.

A court in Southern California has dismissed what was apparently the first-ever traffic citation issued for wearing Google Glass while driving. Cecilia Abadie was stopped for speeding in late October. When a California Highway Patrol officer approached her, he noticed she was wearing the Google Glass device and issued a second ticket for that.

An accident caused by zero visibility on the road.

Whether this is the right answer is not clear. The situation is a special case of warnings to hide one’s illegal conduct because the police are coming — “abort the plan to rob the store” or “flush the drugs down the toilet.” True, here that is done by a stranger rather than by a lookout who’s in league with the criminals, but it’s not clear why that should make a constitutionally significant difference.

A suspected drunk driver going in the wrong direction on the 60 Freeway in Diamond Bar was traveling faster than 100 mph when she caused an accident early Sunday that killed six people, witnesses told the California Highway Patrol.

The idea of being fined for crossing the road at the wrong place can bemuse foreign visitors to the US, where the origins of so-called jaywalking lie in a propaganda campaign by the motor industry in the 1920s.
