The bloke with the mobile phone was on the U2 payroll. Any publicity is good publicity, and if it involves youtube then bonus points for involving pop culture. Wouldn't be the first time reverse marketing was used.
Not quite sure which icon to use for this one - can we have more to choose from please ?
Why does this idea not surprise me ?

Good on yer boys!
So how long before plod deploys the land-to-air speed radar to help him pay for his version of the Transition.
And how does he pull you over for exceeding the speed limit / random breath test / Pete doherty type driving offences ?
A remote engine kill switch is going to go down really well (pun intended). And if we can't use mobile phones while driving, how come pilots can use their radios without having to switch to bluetooth dick-headsets.
And I know I shouldn't start sentences with 'And'
