I’ve had to slam on my brakes many times to avoid some idiot on his phone

And chances are they never knew you had to do that either. They never know.

What's really scary is when you're on the thruway and they're in the passing lane....not a clue there are others on the road next to them...they pull in way too early...you slow down fast to avoid yet another accident they would have caused....and they haven't any idea that of the accident you prevented.

You are right! I can't believe people here actually think it is OK to text and or talk on the phone while driving without a blue tooth!

My husband was in a head on collision in June, with a kid texting and turned in front of my husband at an intersection! The kid said my husband was speeding but witnesses told another story... The Kid was texting and was charged with 4 violations! My husband just finished therapy a week ago! Id hit him so hard the air bags deployed!

I drive daily on the local hwys and have to watch every step due to idiots on phones! It was the same when we lived in NJ. I am personally sick of it!

I have to use my phone in the car for work, and I use my ear piece and only talk a few seconds.

Just this afternoon and elderly man in a truck was on his phone in front of me merging on the hwy and he was bobbing all over the place doing about 25 mph. He almost caused a pile up, but we all swerved and lived!

So I am one for common sense here.. Stay off the damn phone while driving..

Kids are the worst too!

As you can tell this issue really pisses me off! I can't wait til January when the PD can give $500 tickets and then take licenses after the 2nd offense!
