This one dumb bitch even saw the camera, and took the only hand she had on the steering wheel off to wave. I couldn't believe my eyes.
Choda, you've reached the wrong conclusion from what you saw.
If they taped 100s of people yapping away yet didn't film any accidents at this "intersection of two high traffic roads" the conclusion you should have reached is that the practice is safe.

for the amount of people using cell phones while driving, the increase in traffic accidents is non-existent. So is the need for these idiot laws.
