Hmm... if I'm posting this from my iPhone while driving with my knees and eating a burrito, passing a stopped school bus going 17 over the posted speed limit, yelling at my kids I technically don't fall under any of the things people have booed down. Still in the clear then!

I'd be lying if I told you I was surprised by that lol... sad thing is that some of the bad drivers around here are cops, one blew the red light by my house last week without the sirens on, just straight through and almost got tagged by a ram 3500. Just a couple of days ago I saw a cop flying down the street with the sirens blaring, turn them of and pull into the coffee shop.
*EDIT* Hmmm, seems I missed a few posts somehow lol, this was replying to OKVortec's post lol

The woman was driving the van with her wrist, eating a slice of pizza, sending a text message on her cell with her other hand on the wheel while looking at who seemed to be her mother in the passenger seat & carrying on a conversation with her!
Huge amount of talent or just down right scary?!
I stayed 2 car lengths back in the other lane & watched

OMG, a while back my friend & I were driving down the street when I called his attention to a woman driving a mini van (something like: HOLY "f-bomb" look at her!)

And Martin...it's illegal up here for anyone who works for the gov't or municipality (this includes the police) to talk on the phone while driving. If you see one you can get their vehicle number and report them. They can go as far as losing their job for doing it.

Hehe if they did that here we'd have about 160 officers instead of 800... so we'd be screwed!

LOL when I was stuck working Law Enforcement they used to TELL us to use our cell. It would free up the radio and you wouldn't look like such an *** calling about what kind of paperwork went into a shop lifting
Also a woman texting changed lanes right into the side of my wife's Exploder. She was in a Focus for God's sake! A Half-assed glance would have averted that

Anytime you see a cop on their cellphone up here they're pulled over in a parking lot or on the side of the road. It's a big deal to the police and to the municipality up here to be talking on your phone in a gov't owned vehicle....ridiculous IMO, but whatever. lol
