Forget texting while driving. Police say they nabbed a driver who had wired his Ford station wagon with an entire mobile office.

Saarland state, German, police said on Friday the 35-year-old man was pulled over for doing 130 kph (80 mph) in a 100 kph zone while passing a truck Monday.

Built on a wooden frame on his passenger seat they found a laptop on a docking station tilted for easy driver access, a printer, router, wireless internet stick, WLAN antenna, and an inverter to power it all.

A navigation system and cellphone mounted to the windshield completed the array.

Since there was no evidence he used the office while moving, he got away with a €120 ($153) speeding ticket and a possible fine for having unsecured items in his car.

    I think police and authorities should tell all radio station to stop advertising for texting because most of radio listened in UAE while driving. Many times I have heard they telling them to update the traffic jams and their opinion.
