In Europe, so says Popular Science.

You can probably expect the U.S. to mimic Europe if the "It's for the

Considering that most "drivers" are busy texting, sexting, blogging,
twittering, chatting, updating Fecesbook or applying makeup, maybe this
is actually a good idea.

Pull your head out of your ass and look around...you'll see what I mean.

I repeat, most? You're going to need some proof for such a wild assertion.
