Coincidentally, these are also the people who are weaving in and out of their lanes, running red lights, speeding, and otherwise not paying attention to the fact that they are piloting thousands of pounds of metal at high rates of speed.

Op: glad to hear you didn't get hit, that would have been truly aweful.

Thanks for the kind words. Phones and driving are horrible here in nova as well. Silly folks man.

It is illegal in California also and I see at least 10 people each day texting or talking behind the wheel.

Yep, you would almost be forgiven for thinking it was still legal to hold a phone while driving judging from all the people who are out doing it. And what is the reason why people are still doing it in such prolific numbers?

Police are not enforcing the law. I have not only seen people driving right next to cop cars talking on their phones, but I have seen cops doing it too. I despise anyone who does that, I have definitely chewed a few people out if they cause me a close call due to them talking or texting.

Same here in MD, although bluetooth phone convos are just as bad. The issue isn't that someone's holding a plastic receiver, it's that they're so wrapped up in a conversation that they're ignoring the road. It's just too difficult to tell if someone's on the phone when they use a hands free device.
