Pokemon GO and Driving, Not Recommended
The Pokemon GO craze is absolute madness. We have never seen anything like this. The craze continues with reports of game-related crimes, and even politicians getting in on the act. All of this lunacy has greatly helped Nintendo too as Nintendo’s stock has now surpassed 30,000 Yen. Daily, we are seeing all sorts of acts of stupidity and that continued recently in Baltimore.
The Baltimore Police posted a video today on Twitter that shows a man smashing into a parked police cruiser with his Toyota Rav. He was apparently distracted by Pokemon GO while driving. I know, what a dumbass and he’s lucky nobody was harmed. Have a look at the video below:

There is a reason why driving and using your phone is illegal is many states and provinces in North America. You’ve just seen why folks.
