I swear on a number of occassions, if i had a shotgun on-board I would have taken out the twat in front of me's taillights in exactly the situation you describe above.
the fact that a good proportion of people in the wider area around me are so mentally challenged they can barely talk, (forget reading/writing) combining talking/navigating/driving/drinking a coke/eating a burger is a recipe for disaster

You know what really used to irritate me- when I worked as a cashier part time at a grocery and people would be on their cell phone THE WHOLE TIME I was checking them out. THAT is rude.

About time..should be banned in all States. Smoking may be a mild distraction..as is listening to the radio.. but cell phone use while driving is downright dangerous.
