Update:

Just heard on another post by xFreeBird that SC now has a NO Texting Law.
Just a question? No Texting = Distracted Driving Doesn't use of cell = Distracted Driving ??

It's good to know that another state has STARTED something but lets increase the BITE more than a slap on the wrist. If you have more information on SC or other states jump in. Let's educate ourselves and the public that Distracted Driving KILLS.

Most drivers have been apologetic when I've confronted them, but a few arrogant ******** have told me to f off as if I'd done something wrong. That's when the anger management comes in.

I'll never understand how I can be at a red light, look the driver next to me straight in the face, and after the light turns green, he tries to change lanes, almost running me off the road. Simply amazing.

After the common folk get off their cell phones, etc. then we need to adress this:

There ya go. Fear works better than anything in some situations.

The people who are too stupid to be afraid are probably the most scary. I once saw a little, tiny chick - maybe all of 5'2", get out of her car and start screaming at a couple of 1%'ers to "get the f&*K out of her way". They were at a red light, waiting to turn right. Traffic was solid so they couldn't make a right on red. Her plan was they should just ignore traffic and go ahead and turn. She bitched up a storm until one of them dropped his kickstand, stood up and offered to escort her back to her car. She ran back to the car, jumped back in, and continued screaming out the window.

Too many witnesses. But then again, the way she was, I wouldn't be surprised if every single one of them said "I didn't see anything"
