Oy. Still with the phones.
The most distracted driver I saw today was not on the phone. He was trying to read something on the passenger’s seat. Recently it was someone actually flipping through a catalog or magazine or something - up on the steering wheel while tooling down an interstate. Then there are kids and dogs and fast food and radios and CD players and bill boards and hot looking drivers and pedestrians and… And even aside from the directly distracted that there are those people who just literally don’t pay any attention at all.
We can all continue to talk about phones if we want. But its sort of like thinking that the titanic was sunk by the tip of the ice berg. Distracted driving is not an invention of the portable information age.
