What doesn't kill? At least watching the 'road' does not.

BUFFALO (New York): State police say a truck driver was watching pornographic movies on his laptop computer when his rig struck a disabled car on the New York State Thruway near Buffalo last month, killing the driver.

Thomas Wallace of Ohio was arrested Tuesday. He’s been charged with second-degree manslaughter in the death of 33-year-old Julie Stratton, a mother of two from a Buffalo suburb.

The 45-year-old Wallace was being held in Genesee County Jail on Wednesday. It was unknown whether he had an attorney.

Investigators say Wallace also violated federal trucking rules by sleeping no more than four of 27 hours before the crash.

Thou shall not drink and drive. That we've all heard. Using mobile phone in you right hand, and a cigarette in the other, driving a manual car. That I've watched. You know they are many drivers who are able to hold two different items in each hand and yet manage to steer out of trouble. Eating while driving and etc. But watching porn? Come on. Where did he put his laptop? On the dashboard? On the passenger's seat?

Man. Things people do to satisfy their lust.
