Defensive driving is always a good idea. Since I started commuting between Orange County and San Diego I have a new found appreciation for the skill that defensive driving is. It's interesting how you really *can* profile a vehicle by how it's driven, but I digress.

Curse her at the light, do whatever it takes.
Women have enough power already. Please don't give women any slack.
Install Train Horns and curse them, call 911, etc.

I am in the same boat, my city has some of the worst drivers in All of Canada and having a backup plan after profiling a driver has saves my T from being hit by others in 3 situations in the past year of ownership alone... All three times I have had passengers not know how I made it though without getting hit!

Ya it's a law here in UT that texting and driving is illegal. This year they took it a step further that any manipulation of a cell phone: texting, using the social media, using the internet, checking email, changing music... etc was illegal. The law hasn't take effect yet but has been passed and will take effect I believe oct 2014. So start of fiscal 2015 it's gospel. Young female girls here are the absolute worst here. To compound with that...
The drivers in UT are semi aggressive (no where near kalif) But driving 70 mph in a blizzard is not uncommon and in fact if you aren't driving at least 65 in that blizzard here you sure as hell better be in the most far right lane on the freeway or you are surely impeding traffic. 4wd vehicles are a must here. Not to get to work but to keep up with traffic.
RIP to all those that have lost to this. I am sorry to everyone. Especially to SBG. He is someone I look up to on this forum. Deepest sorrow to you my brother. Your thoughts and prayers will be with the SF this week.

I really appreciate the condolences.
But if I can get someone to just think about what they're doing because of it, it'll at least have some meaning.

Get a CD player with a remote that you can use without looking (smart button placement and different size buttons you can feel instead of having to see). Works wonders!

Women are the problem ! ! !
I've know 3 Men who are disabled or killed by a middle aged Power Mom, she was out having fun with kids, while Husband is slaving away at the job. She was Texting / gossiping with her friends. My buddy is paralyzed with no Medical and she went home to her Mansion paid for by the enslaved Husband.
Today, men are 2nd class citizens thanks to angry, obese American Women.
Women Text 75% while
Men Text 25%
IF YOU SEE A WOMAN TEXTING, GIVE HER HELL ! ! !

Personally cursing at someone at light won't do you much good. It will make you look like an ******* and then they will continue to text and drive then justify it and say that guys an *******, what does he know. I think an effective way would be getting their attention at a light and asking them to put the phone down, mention that you know someone who lost their life from texting (even if you dont) They will feel guilty and will at least stop texting until your not around them anymore. If they don't care and do it anyways then call the police but flipping out at them makes you look like an *******

no they won't - they all think it won't happen to them. Were that true - telling them your brother was killed texting a driving - no one would drink and drive. I suppose the greatest irony of all of that is my brother had 3 DUIs, but it was texting that got him.

I have seen cops driving with a phone in hand and typing on their mounted laptop. Go figure........watch them when they go by and you'll catch one doing it.

Cursing at strangers at a light might get you shot or beat up.

Or a machine-gun sound horn, that would be awesome...just loud enough so as to replicate the real deal.

ill admit ive texted at stop lights before ive tried to cut it out by keeping my phone in the console and that has helped, i also do have to say that ive seen a lot of teenaged girls texting while driving and not to sounds hypocritical but it pisses me off because ill be driving along and see some girl texting her BFF about the new dress she bought at the mall. like seriously that can wait! focus on driving!

I see a guy that has a book opened up on his steering wheel and eating his bagel about two mornings out of five on Jamboree in Newport Beach. Now if that isn't distracted driving I don't know what is. LOL

There's a law in Tennessee for texting and driving. I wrote one up for it, a couple of days ago. She was texting as she rolled up to stop at the red light. She looked over and saw the motorcycle cop, and put her phone down. Too Late. I've been behind people, you would swear that they were drunk, but no, just texting. Driving drunk or driving and texting, both cause fatalities.
We also have the distracted driver law, which carries a fine and court cost. Texting just carries a fine only. So we write them for distracted driving.

There are laws in many states for distracted driving. But just like DWIs people think they can do it safely. The bad stuff won't happen to them.

Go ahead and beat me up - I'll own your home after I sue you in Court. And if you Kill me, you're in jail for life.
I can call you every name in the book - all legal - it's called free speech, but the second you lay your hand on me, it's assault - federal law. Mandatory jail time, court costs and possible civil suits ... Guys, we don't live in Brazil, a country where your opinion WILL get your killed.
IF YOU TEXT AND DRIVE IN FRONT OF ME, I WILL CALL YOU AND YOUR WIFE EVERY NAME IN THE BOOK.
