I got stuck behind some jerk in the left lane in a 55mph zone and he was doing 40mph.
I finally find a hole in the right lane to pass him. As am passing him I see him holding his phone up in front of his face TEXTING!!
I paced him so I could watch him for a few more seconds then LAID ON THE HORN!!!.
His reaction was hilarious. Phone flying, finger flying, LOL! Yeah, I’m bad but it felt so damn good to finally get one in on these idiots.
Like others here, I’m not crazy about new laws but quite frankly, this kind of driving or, in fact, any really distracted driving, really is dangerous and should be limited somehow.
Like you, I was coming back from a grouse-hunting trip in northern Wisconsin on Interstate 90, when I got behind a Ford Focus going 60 in the passing lane. When I finally got around her, I noticed her texting. Once past, I noted in my sideview mirror that she would occasionally veer into my lane for no apparent reason.
Equally scary was a teenaged guy who was fiddling with his GPS in a strip mall parking lot. He ran into a stall full of shopping carts, missing an older lady by inches (I hope he had insurance to cover her Toyota Sienna tailgate).
