    While I do feel sorry for the fact that this driver will have probably lost his job, I agree with Markk9 - call back in 5 minutes! People have to use common sense and, unfortunately, their lack of common sense is what gets them fired. They have no one to blame but themself.

    No the guy with the stupid gnat walking around avatar is the best i actually swatted my monitor the first time i saw it -_-

    I don't drive while on phone, I have texted before while at a red light or in traffic. My husband talks on phone and drives... drives me nuts.

    He doesn't back while on it though and makes fun of those who do.
