What's next, sue the car company for installing a speedometer, a device which tempts you to go fast to make the number big? That's the exact same thing, really.

Oh look - people still do stupid things.

Even after the crash, they say she still didn't put the phone down- taking a selfie as medics put her on a stretcher.

I'm guessing you get arrested if you get caught. Jam the right CIA/FBI/NSA/Border Patrol van on the Houston highway, and they track you and chase you.
