Dave, are you maybe in the cell phone business? The problem is undeniable and, because of the
huge numbers of phone-addicted drivers, a hundred times worse than drunks, munchers and misbehaving kids. I see phone-caused bad driving virtually every commute. Its getting worse and worse.
It used to be that the guy doing 40 in the fast lane or weaving was a geezer or a drunk. Now, 99% chance its some self-absorbed jerk getting his next sales or work call over the cell phone.
Whats amazing is the denial and the political buy-offs that prevent taking any real steps to curb the problem.
