What if the driver keeps on pressing dead man's lever while talking to phone? I propose a "hit the beaver" game for the driver to keep him focused :mrgreen: The beaver of course acts as dead man's lever :twisted: If you are unlucky enough you will die in oddest of circumstances. :roll:

A reason I heard for keeping the prison wages lesser than the minimum wage is to discourage people from landing up in jails to get work :lol:.
