I think that guy is texting and driving!


I hate I-95 on Sundays - it evidently draws the dumbest of drivers out.  We kept getting slowed down into stop-and-go traffic for no good reason with no warning.  When I was a teenager, I was hit by a driver who didn't stop when I stopped (technically he did stop, but only because he hit me) so I always watch my rear view mirror very closely when I suddenly slow down in traffic.  Yesterday I was stunned by what I saw when I looked back.  The guy behind me was looking down and smiling at his phone and not looking at what I was doing.  I moved out of that lane as soon as I could and said to hubby "I think that guy is texting and driving!"

I was happy when, shortly up the road, we saw that driver getting pulled over by a state trooper.  I'm not certain texting is a primary offense, but either way, he got caught doing something and I smiled about it.
