You're operating a several-thousand pound conflagration of steel and machinery and yet, you're giving your attention to a small phone and the message contents of a just-received text. Is that text so important that it can't wait for you when you're out of the car or at least, stopped and NOT at a stoplight or in traffic?

Bluetooth devices exist for a reason - use them if you need to make a call.

I swear. I almost t-boned a woman on my way home from work because she wasn't paying attention and looking down at something (I'm assuming a phone). I had the right-of-way and she decided to pull out of the stop at a T-junction seconds before me. Good thing I was paying attention to my surroundings and braked, only to be rewarded by her giving me the finger instead.

In any case, I don't care if you're stuck in traffic, waiting for the light to turn green, or nobody else is around to pose a threat to. If you're driving, stay off your phone.

Is that call or text really worth a fine?

Yeah I agree. But I don't think that you used the word "conflagration" correctly.

Maybe not in it's correct definition, but in my definition? Totally.

It's terrible. When my sister has been the driver she does this and I take get phone and text for her. But she shouldn't be doing that at all. It can wait.

Well I need to look at my GPS on my phone if I want to get to places that I haven't been before.

Texts, sure. But what if there are some fly Pokemon around. Huh? Huh?!

So get a mount for your car that you can stick your phone in, thus eliminating the possibility and need to hold it and divert your attention to your hand, instead of your dashboard.

Then pull to the side of the road and not play Pokemon Go while driving.

Crazy thing I use my GPS all the time without a screen. Turn on audio and let it read directions to you.

Well, Americans are irrational people not to mention the most likely to be rude and have road rage to the point they'll shoot you for honking your horn at them when they cut you off on the road.
