I'm glad I don't pay Virginia taxes

This is so for more than the general reason.

On NPR this afternoon, I heard that the Virginia DOT has just completed a groundbreaking, year-long study, involving real-time, in-car monitoring of over 100 drivers. The results of this cutting edge research? Leading causes of accidents and near-accidents are - wait for it - drivers talking on the phone, talking with passengers, and being drowsy.

Surely there was no better use for that money and time than to expand the frontiers of human knowledge thusly.
