GET OFF YOUR PHONE!

I have a total potty mouth when I drive. I hate to drive. Actually, I love the "driving" but detest the absolute idiots on the road. Now, I can get distracted, lose my way or just daydream with the best of them, so I am not innocent of the occasional driving no-no, but come on people. GET OFF THE ROAD IF YOU ARE ON YOUR CELL PHONE!

Today I rolled down my window, went around the woman talking on her phone at a green light, and yelled for her to WAKE UP! She was appalled, rolled her eyes and kept talking! WTF! Where do these people come from? I want a law that says no cell phones while driving. I don't use mine while driving. If something is that important that I must answer a call or reply to a text, I pull off the road. How difficult is it to just take a minute and complete whatever task is necessary on your cell phone BEFORE starting the car?

Or what about those drivers who think that having a hands-free set or Bluetooth is acceptable? I get the whole "two hand on the wheel" convenience, and I thank you for that, but seriously, again, being distracted by some seemingly mundane but all too important conversation while your car drifts across three lanes of traffic! Did you even see me driving next to you, see me swerve and jump a curb, hear me honk, notice I chased your ass down for miles before realizing I was behaving irrationally. You almost killed me you zombie. GET OFF YOUR PHONE!
