DMV office closes after driver crashes into building

As a journalist, of course I love this kind of story...

But you would think by now that designers of buildings where drivers tests are given would plan for more reinforced construction, and maybe install giant rubber bumpers on the corners, right?

Newsflash: Texting while Driving BAD!

As a rabid opponent of using a cellphone while driving, I am not surprised to hear the results of a new study
(http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/03/28/adults-worse-than-teens-about-texting-behind-wheel/2026331/)
declaring that nearly half of all those surveyed do text and drive, despite the fact that almost all of the people surveyed know it is dangerous.

They needed a study for this?
