He also had a DVD player and a PS2. The article says that the procecutor is going to try and prove the driver was watching a movie when the crash occured.

He probably was, but it's like everything else you can do while driving, talk on the phone, reach for something, play with any number of who knows what you're carrying in the car, etc...I just hate when they focus on the object and not the driver.

In this state (Florida) I thought TVs in drivers view had been illegal for years, maybe not?I'm surprised it's legal in Alaska...
