Stand Or Fall
It am getting increasingly frustrated by seeing people on their mobile phones while driving.
Yesterday on my way home, I saw 3 people opening flaunting the law while driving. One person behind me was continually texting with his head down in between holding what seemed to be several hilarious conversations.
Don’t get me wrong I am not one to go out of my way to stick my nose in and ‘grass’ but due to the danger it causes to innocent men, women and children I wish there was a mechanism to report instances like this which the police could take seriously. Obviously, filming them on your mobile phone while driving would be very unwise but if a passenger was able to do this and provide it to the police then I think this may be a deterrent. I assume they need to be caught in the act by the authorities.
If I were to witness a theft I could report it to the police, most petty thefts don’t run the risk of life changing injury or fatality but driving while on a mobile phone, in my book does.
I’ve witnessed incidents where accidents have been caused by careless driving, not malicious or evil people, and suffice to say it has changed the lives of both the victim and the law breaker in ways that I could never comprehend happening to me.
I use a hand free kit if ever a call is urgent, but the safety of myself and others around me should be paramount. The idiots I see clearly don’t share my opinion.
Thoughts?
