Not exactly sure what happened in this case, but if you have to listen to loud music day in, day out it can get extremely aggravating. Personally I hate having to listen to someone's music on the train even if they are wearing headphones. People don't seem to understand that…

I'm not going to debate your points sf2k, because I can't lol. However, the article does state that the government does want to, "check practicality". It's not as if these engines are going into full production right now.

I think this is a pretty good idea as well. How often have we seen stories were drivers thought they could drive, but were still under the influence and ended up injuring/killing someone?
