I have a 56 mile commute, each way, for work. It is a regular occurrence that I have to avoid somebody who is left of centre because they are looking down at their phone. Many times it is a woman in a minivan, likely with kids in the back.:mad2:
I had this very thing happen to me yesterday. I was on the shoulder heading to a front lawn when passed by someone staring at his phone in a lifted diesel Dodge Ram in my lane! :mad2::incazzato::frown2:
Not a bad idea, but you are assuming that some of the distractions aren't caused by people trying to enter in an address in the GPS or looking for a specific song.
I'm sending this to my girlfriend. She's driving back to Asheville right now so I had better wait until she's home before sending. She's getting better about it because I told her I would quit smoking if she'll quit texting while driving.
Ohio enacted a no-texting law while driving, but it has no teeth, as it is only a secondary offense. If a cop pulls up to someone and they are texting to beat the band, unless they are speeding or doing something else that is a primary offense, nothing they can do.
For the life of me, I am trying to figure out who would have lobbied the legislature to make something this black and white a secondary offense...the cell companies perhaps? They talk a good game in their PSA's, but they could be losing revenue if people don't text while driving.
But look on the bright side - at least those Russian dashcam vids are posted here so that you can tell yourself how much better the driving standards are where you live........
It happens to me a couple of times a day - usually lane drift, bt a few times a week someone blows through a red light or stop sign without even slowing down. :incazzato:
