Reported someone

I never do this but I actually called a company and reported their driver.

He was on his phone and pulled out in front of me. I was going around 45-50 and had to slam on my brakes down to about 15. He then slowly accelerated to about 25 (in a 45) and rolled through a red light causing cross traffic to stop. He never appeared to look up from his phone.

I don’t normally report company cars because we all make mistakes and I don’t want anyone to lose a job because of a simple mistake. This guy was downright careless and dangerous.

Have a stereotypical hot rod for your time

Good for you man. I think using your phone while driving, at least in the manner you just described should result in consequences similar to a DUI. Everyday on the way home from work I’m amazed. Literally everyone is on their phone, just drifting all over their lane(s) just texting away...

I have a feeling you may find very few people on this website that agree with that statement...

It’s distracted driving. Don’t do it. There are risks.

I drive a lot and see it constantly. I saw a guy the other day using a laptop. He started to run off the road a couple times. He wound up slowing down to about 50 in a 65.

Funny story; buddy of mine randomly met a few Onion writers at a bar a few years back.. During the conversation they mentioned that they had a placard of their 10 favorite headlines, he asked what was #1—-

“ Tee-ball Stand at Special Olympics Pitches Perfect Game ”
