    Huh. So I just caught the tail end of a driver doing a live feed on Facebook while he drives, and is reading and answering questions from people commenting. Not a smart move, if you ask me. Anybody else?

    Call his company. To many idiots out here as it is, one less would be a good thing.

    I'll have to look and see if he has one, or if he is the company (O/O, maybe?)

    BTW, it's probably one of the better known pages on FB.

    I'm not gonna bust his chops about it, but I think it was a bad move and a very bad example to set, especially for his fans that are either rookie drivers or just curious about what we do as drivers. He could otherwise be a very safe driver, I just don't know.

    I should rephrase, I only saw a very short snippet of the video. I drive long enough every day myself, I don't need to watch someone else doing it while I'm off duty.

    I was nearly run off the road two days ago from a guy looking like he was doing paperwork and something on his phone all while driving. Funny because my family used to say "watch out for those 4wheelers." They no longer do after hearing my same response each time which was "it's not the feather light weight 4wheelers I'm worried about it's the 40ton trucks with irresponsible grown kids driving them that could take me out".
