I wonder if they can prove the driver had an ipod on during the crash, and if there wasn't mechanical/tire failure. I just realized there was a bus crash CSI once where a tire failed, and their story was that the suspension was made to be faulty.
whether they can prove the driver had an ipod in or not shouldn't matter. an mp3 player or ipod isn't even as close to a distraction compared to crying babies, loud passengers, or drunk passengers. there is nothing wrong with listening to music from a personal music player in my opinion.
The driver using an ipod may not be an issue but I'm pretty sure that in most places it is illegal to drive with headphones on.
