Thanks anoldafvet; I was beginning to wonder if I was the only one who saw a problem with people chatting, texting, while they were driving down a busy road.

I have seen countless people do stupid stuff, pulling out in front of people.. meandering across yellow lines, endangering others on the nation’s roads and highways - heck, even parking lots! - with those stupid things stuck in their ears. I have avoided wrecks dozens of times with these people... and most often they are women and teens.

Something needs to be done about this.. and I for one am glad to see someone trying. If you need to use the phone while you are driving, pull off the shoulder or into a parking area and do it. If someone calls, their number remains.. a couple of minutes to get to a stopping place might be an inconvenience *Lord help if American people have to wait for ‘anything’ these days* but it is the safe responsible thing to do.
