News for Week of 12-2-12

Here are three articles that caught my eye this week. The first two have to do with distractions while driving while the third is just distracting any way you look at it.

1. What do you think? Do red-light traffic cameras cause more accidents?

2. Wow, look at this (I hope you’re not driving). As if we don’t have enough things to concentrate on behind the wheel, but this article actually says that computers for your car’s windshield would actually be “helping to improve safety.” I guess I just can’t think of a tweet I needed to see that badly (but then again, I’m kinda old and like my bad news delivered in person and not when I’m driving a 4,000 pound projectile).

3. White House wants 100% of vehicles to have black boxes by 2013. I’m just gonna leave that one alone except to say it’s 1984 all over again.
