Yes, and I wonder if figures are available for accidents that could have

That's far more dangerous than driving at 80mph on an open road.

In Norway such driving is heavily fined :-) You are caught if you
cannot say one - two - three with a pause btw. each word from tjhe

On motor roads there some times are such warning points.
