I believe there was a UK case involving a bloke MSNing all night. He subsequently was sent down after falling asleep at the wheel and crashing onto a trainline. Makes you think.
Early 2001 at Great Heck, near Selby in North Yorkshire: Great Heck rail crash - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The driver of the car was jailed. There's a school of thought that says he was unlucky. Selby was the third major accident on the UK railway in a relatively short period, and 'something must be done'.
