Not Just In The Back Seat

Sounded like a prime candidate for the Darwin Award. If you were dumb enough to be having sex while driving, aren't you just asking for a head-on collision with oncoming traffic?

Another car veered into the couple's path in this town 25 km northeast of Quebec City, shattering both vehicles and trapping the occupants. The 25-year-old driver, from Baie-Comeau, Que., was killed on impact and the driver of the other vehicle was gravely injured, said provincial police.

Witnesses said the deceased man and his female passenger were partially undressed, leading police to believe the couple had been having sex prior to impact.

So it turned out that the coupling couple wasn't even driving erratically. It was the other guy who fell asleep at the wheel and veered across the median. Talk about getting caught with your pants down. Still, it's good to know that it is possible to drive straight during a quickie, although I imagine it won't help your reaction time any.
