7. You've reminded me of an incident I was going to post about

This was a few days ago. I was driving back on a stretch of highway with a speed limit of 65. That means people in the fast lane do 75. Well, I saw this Fiat 500 up ahead in the slow lane. Brake lights are coming on every few hundred yards. Little swerving here and there. Going 55 with a lot of pissed of drivers behind it. I passed the car and looked over to see what was going on. You guessed it, the driver was messing with her phone, eyes completely off the road.

The only time I will mess with my phone while driving is if I'm in heavy traffic moving a few inches an hour. Then I take pictures of the bad traffic and text them to people who will feel sorry for me. Other than that, I'm not going to look at my phone. But I see it all the time when I'm driving on the highway. For some reason, people think it's ok.
