Gotcha! Driving while texting or talking on phone

[FreeRights]

For those that are complaining about this regulation. Be happy this isn't the UK, where drinking(anything non-alcoholic) or eating is illegal while driving. Drivers caught are charged with driving without due care and attention.

Honestly, I would not be surprised if people actually had an easier time adapting to the no food/drink rule than they do adapting to the no cellphone/texting rule.

So we were trying top back out at the parking lot in Orchard park
And this idiot in a silver SUV was completely stopped behind us - blocking us in and holding up traffic

TALKING
ON
HIS
PHONE

We honked a dozen times, and after the 10th honk he looks behind him for a moment
Never notices us...
There is a lady on the side shaking her head at him
And instead of driving - he puts down his phone - puts his earphones in - turns on his mp3 player
and causally drives forward...



*bleep*?!?!?!

Approaching the "construction zone" yesterday by the new overpass and SUV is gaining on me big time on outside lane activating the speed sign at 78km/hr. As she was passing me i noticed she was frantically texting at the wheel and to make matters worse she had 2 small children strapped in their child seats in back. If you don't give a crap about yourself at least respect your kids right to life.

BTW Can we still call it a "construction zone" if no construction is taking place?

IMO anyone caught doing what she did should and must be charged with child endangerment. And she calls herself a momma. Nothing is mre important than keeping your children safe, nothing.

Saw a car in my rear-viw driving quickly, zipping around, making oddly quick lane changes. At the light this explained everything.

Idiot! May a ticket be in your future! I normally could care less if you could actually drive a car without looking like it was a blind person driving.

Getting tired of seeing idiots around town on their bloody phones while driving. So I've started a pet-project. There's a camera in my vehicle. If you get spotted using your cell, one of the passengers will take a picture of you, and of your license plate.

Awesome!!! It'd be nice if we could start a photo gallery. Saw a mother with kid in car seat texting at 80KM on hwy97, too bad I didn't get a shot of that, it would have made a lovely family christmas card.

This thread was supposed to be a place for putting shots, people keep posting messages instead and I come here and No pic,,, no Fun,,,

Can you be anymore of a hypocrite? You break the law and then *bleep* about other people breaking the same law?

If he is the passenger in his car with a camera what law is he breaking?

Re read the post. There is only one rearview mirror and passengers cannot comfortably see out of the side mirror.

Nothing in the post says the driver took the picture or even insinuates it.

Hate to say it but that looks like it was taken out the passenger window,,, of a car beside them.
I might be wrong but if he seen her out his rearview mirror,,, are ya thinkin he snapped the shot through his review mirror,,, or would he wait till she got beside him and maybe, just maybe his friend or wife,,, took the picture,,, you need more info before you take your stab.

Nope, the photo itself was taken from the drivers seat with cam/phone at arms length. The stantion gives it away, if it was by passenger we shouldn't be able to see it. Dollars to donuts I'm right, it just fits. He's free to refute but.....

You are perhaps correct, I will retract if that is the case.

The very first photo posted was most definitely taken by the passenger. I'm pretty sure the one you were specifically referring to was also taken by a passenger - there's no artifacts of the photographer's vehicle framing the photographed subject (ie., passenger seat, window, etc).

Taking those photos is a bit of a challenge as the passenger really doesn't have any control of traffic or the vehicle they're in. Conditions have to be right, you need a cellphone user next to you, travelling at the same speed or stopped, the passenger has to have their camera ready to shoot... but sometimes the stars align and one can get a real gem.

I've got to get back out on the road with the wife and grab more shots. Now that my bike riding is done for the year, I should have far more opportunity.

I tend to agree. As a passenger I would have to lean way back (towards the driver) in order to get the window frame in the picture. If the picture were taken from the passenger seat the camera/phone would very likely have been no more than a few inches from the window, and no window frame would have been visible.
