Creating nightmares for the future.

I was driving on the highway and following someone who was driving just below speed limit. This driver was on the brakes constantly and maintained a huge distance with the vehicle in front. However, this is on the lane just right of the HOV lane. If there wasn't a HOV lane, this car would be on the most left lane which is for passing. I figured, I didn't wanted to follow this car, so I changed lanes to pass this car. When I passed by and looked into the windows, I was so p.o.ed when I noticed the driver was on the phone and my impulse prompted me to honk. Then I changed lanes in front of this car and the driver quickly finished the phone conversation and continued to drive behind me. As I gazed into the rearview mirrors, I didn't see this driver back on the phone. I believe this driver got the message. That's why the driver was constantly on the brakes and driving a little slower than the speed limit and maintaining a speed and a huge distance from the cars in front.

Coincidentally, I came across this video online. Take a look.



So, how do you feel about driving while holding a cell phone on your ears? If you need to talk constantly, park you car before you talk on your cell phone while holding it on your ears. Otherwise, get a headset. Or better, drive first and talk later when you're parked. Don't cause havoc or nightmares for yourself for the rest of your life.
