More nonsense to get us ready for a cell phone ban. Don't buy into it.

I was almost run off the road by some dingbat talking on a cell phone. She was completely oblivious at how close she came to killing both of us and just drove on her merry way.

Sorry to hear that. However, that's not convincing enough to talk me into growing a new artery to our cancerous tumor of a government.

I gotta say almost invariably when I see someone driving like they haven't got a clue, they are on a cell phone. Personally, I'm beginning to think cell phones cause brain damage. And maybe paranoia.....

Ahh, but correlation doesn't imply causation. I'm willing to bet the dingbat just drives bad period. And I'd like folks to explain to me how talking on the cell phone is so incredibly different than eating or chatting with a friend (in the car) or listening intently to the radio and changing the stations.

My number one irritation is close to numbers 3 and 4 - speeding up in an on ramp that leads to an off ramp into a long line of backed-up cars, just so you can go 71 instead of 70. Just merge already and then get left to pass!

I was almost run off the road by some dingbat talking on a cell phone.

A couple of years back, I was stopped at a very busy intersection in town, when a woman in the opposite turn lane, chatting away on a cellphone and oblivious to what was going on around her, stopped her Expedition a good 10-12 feet beyond the turn lane, almost in the middle of the intersection.

She continued to chat away on her cellphone, while angry commuters had to swing around her to get thru the intersection.

Not only did she completely ignore the honking horns and hand gestures, but she didn't even have the courtesy to back-up out of the intersection until her light turned green.

I have never seen such a display of arrogance like that.

A few weeks ago I was driving behind some guy talking on his cell phone and he started to drive on the shoulder. Then he started to drive in the ditch. He kept driving at 60 mph around the RIGHT side of a highway sign which was eight feet from the road while stalks of corn whizzed by, inches from his window, until he maneuvered his car back to the shoulder and then back onto the road, all at highway speed.

He kept chatting on his cell phone as he continued on down the road.
