This case, which is still an ongoing trial, throws into stark relief the very real dangers of distracted driving and the use of mobile phones by drivers.
We know about music. We know about texts and calls and emails. We know about live video, notifications and alerts. We know about handsfree being just as dangerous as hand held. We know about the countless other apps that can draw a drivers attention from the road. This case is nothing more with the exception of the content. Utterly disgusting.
Matters are made worse with the search term and then 25 webpages accessed in the 4 minutes prior to the collision. Twenty five!
The prosecution also allege he threw his phone away after removing and snapping his sim card in two. The trial continues.
