Cellphone Drivers

You know what really ticks me off? Those idiot drivers yapping on their cell phones. I mean c’mon! Do we really need to be speaking to people ALL the time? You’re driving a freaking machine encased in steel, ripping down the highway at deadly speed, but you’re still intent on dialing, texting, emailing, chatting, uploading.

You can tell who they are. They drive 20 miles below the posted speed limit, usually in the fast lane. They exit at the last minute, generally cutting others off. They don’t use hands free devices, and you can typically spot them through the back window, because their heads have a hand attached to them.

Can we take these people off the road? Put a law in place, like other states, that gives tickets to those who are (not really) driving their cars. When I eat a meal, I focus on the food. When I’m at work, I focus on the work. When I’m talking to someone else on the phone, they have my undivided attention. And when I’m driving, I become one with the machine that surrounds me.
