Texting and driving is a very bad thing granted. I think it shouldn't be singled out though. I've seen just as many guys swerving in and out because they're eating, or reaching for a drink, or fiddling with their nav unit. So think about that too if you're reporting people don't discriminate. I almost got hit by a clown trying to eat and drive. He was holding a sandwich and a drink with his wrist on the wheel. You can't grip the wheel with your wrist and as soon as he would've hit a pot hole or got cut off by a 4 wheeler it would've been game over. Distracted driving is distracted driving no matter whats causing it point blank PERIOD.

Electronic device is definitely written into the regulations though. I am working on a new video where I have 4 more truckers using electronic device while driving, this time I want to zoom into their cabs because in the past, even with slow motion there are some who will argue the evidence does not show them definitively holding the electronic device. We going full NCIS up in here now, scottie will not be called a liar loltinytim, IluvCATS and Knucklehead Thank this. -
Scottie you should just have a camera permanently mounted on your passenger side pointing into driver windows of other trucks. Then simply slow down as you pass each truck to catch a moment of evidence.
At the end of each day you could review all drivers you passed. Check for bad behavior. Then all bad behaviors (texting, eating, holding cellphone, driving with feet, etc) are easily captured for reporting. This would make your task more efficient. -
