Texting and driving? I snitch.

Well more power to you guys who wanna be on "text patrol" and call the police every time you see it happenin

 

Why are you threatened by that? I don't get it. Who cares if some texting, distracted, inconsiderate, care-free and dangerous drivers get busted? Something has got to be done about the accidents and road deaths. All that tough guy talk about stitches doesn't fool anyone and doesn't intimidate at all. Its funny but that's it.

 

Didn't we grow out of tattle tailing in kindergarten?

 

Seeing other do wrong and doing nothing about it puts the witness just as guilty

 

I didn't see nothing.

 

Well in my book, stitches pale in comparison to the minivan "hypothetically"now filled with a dead family crushed by a big truck. Because some rerun was on his phone when he should have been watching the road. I don't like to snitch either but if I passed a driver or he passed me, and I did nothing. Only to find out later that he or she caused a horrific accident. I'd feel somewhat responsible In a way.

 

Good for you driver

 

So you when you were looking right....to see what other driver was doing...you took your eyes off the road in front of you...so you weren't paying any attention to driving....at that moment as guilty as other driver

 

The camera can only look at what it is pointed at My eyes can rotate inside their sockets, so yes I was looking at the road ahead. My last DOT physical concluded I have 90 degree vision so I can turn my head to the right side of my vehicle and still see what is happening to the front of the vehicle.

 

I've only ever called on one driver. We were crossing the GW and he kept swerving toward me. Pushing me closer to the Jersey barriers. Traffic was moving pretty slow so if I backed off I'd have been stopped on the bridge. So I speed up to try and get ahead of him so if he does hit me, at least it would be my trailer and not my truck. I'm in the left lane and he was in the center. So anyhow I'm lined up with the guy, in line with his drivers side window and I see him texting. I blew my city horn and nothing. I then laid on my air horn a few times. This guy was completely oblivious that he was moving closer and closer forcing me into the Jersey barriers. He made contact with my passenger mirror and I was about half inch from the Jersey barriers when I through a half full water bottle at his side window to get his attention. I know that wasnt very professional but all things considered. There wasn't any major damage so I didn't call the cops but I did inform his company. Of all places to try and text and drive the Gw bridge is not one of them
