Texting.
I was driving today behind two different people who were all over the road. When I ultimately passed each of them, I looked and confirmed that each of them was “texting†while driving.
If I were King, here’s the way it would go.
If you are seen to be texting while driving, the cop would have the unfettered right to drag you out of the car, stomp your cell phone to bits and then beat the dogshit out of your sorry ass.
No court, no judge, just a well-deserved ass-kicking.
That is all.
Works for me. Ditto for yapping on cellphone while pretending to drive.

Heck, I don’t even like to talk on me cell while driving, especially in traffic. Texting is out of the question.
Idiots.

Every time — EVERY TIME — I am behind someone going way too slow for the posted limit, they are either on their cell or texting. Yesterday I was behind a ‘vette and the guy slowed to 40 in a 55. After a mile or so, I rode his bumper hoping he’d see me looming in the rearview and take the hint. But he was so absorbed with his cell functions he didn’t notice. This went on for mile after mile.
This is waaaay out of hand.

Agree.
Can these people be so unaware that lone planes and trains crash due to operator inattention while texting How do they imagine that a person operating a car among hundreds of others – plus physical obstacles like light poles and pedestrians – would be less perilous?
