If BMW wanted to make vehicles that could only be used in a safe manner, they probably wouldn't sell cars that can do 250 km/hr in a school zone. Safe driving is all about the driver, not the car.

Well heck, maybe we should remove airbags and reduce the speed limits down to 30mph since we cant trust people to make the right decision. In the meantime, i'll be driving safely while using a BT device in my equally safe car.
