    For the people that smoke. Can you smoke while driving in front of a camera and not be in some sort of violation?

    If my company enact that policy that we can't even listen to music/podcast in our phone today, I'd look for another company the next day, I need to listen to my music to keep me sane on the road.

    I worked with a guy who got a distracted driving ticket for texting in the drive thru lineup. Best just to leave the phone alone. You might win in court but do you really want to waste a day ####ing around with that?

    They appreciate it too.


    Not! Greedy fukkers in the US act like they didn’t steal it from you first.

    Any REAL Canadian would be in the drive-thru at Harvey's, not McD's!
