Followed closely by the cell phone glued to that person's ear!
Bluetooth isn't any better. I was in stop and go rush hour traffic next to guy in an Infiniti on Friday night that was having a conversation on his car's bluetooth system. The volume was high enough for me to hear half of his conversation with all windows rolled up over my radio. Add in the hand gestures and he wouldn't have known what hit him if he'd been in an accident.

I'm pretty sure it's common knowledge, but they say that talking on your phone while driving is like driving drunk. Not to mention texting while driving. The State of Minnesota has a law banning texting while driving.
Our other Senator (Klobachar, not Franken) is I think working on legislation to make it a federal law. Just an FYI and certainly not a political statement.
You would think if people knew it was dangerous they wouldn't do it but they do. My question is, who are these people talking too and are their conversations really that important to risk their lives and other motorists' lives? Plus why can't people just disconnect for 20 minutes in life while they drive or do something like go to a movie.

There are many things dangerous in a car some have been said already.
Here's my list.
1. The driver to include but not limited to age and gender!
2. Electronic devices also not limited to cell phones/blue tooths, GPS, Laptops, DVD players.....etc.
3. Small pets that said drivers above like to cuddle with while driving. Still waiting for the day when I get called out to an MVA to find a chihuahua impaled into the drivers chest cavity, not gonna be a pretty site....nope not at all!
4. Clothing and the drivers who feel it's necessary to put on while bombing down the highway. This also includes makeup for our female friends!
5. Paperwork, maps, and newspapers. While relatively safe in the home, these drivers must make sure their work reports are correct, the stock market hasn't bombed out, and to make sure that detour they just took will get them to work all while driving!
6. Passengers! Yes they need to keep you up to date with the latest gossip from school or work. Then you have the glorious back seat driver who insists you do things their way....Yes dear I know the traffic light turned red....
7. A perfectly detailed car who's paint pops out at you and screams "Take your eyes off the road for a sec. and look at ME!!!
8. A not so perfect hooptie to which one of those USED to be nice and shiny rims is more valuable then the entire car itself. Y'all know these cars as they have all the Pep Boy's add on mods yet has more dents, dings, rust, RIDS, and swirls to have a detailer stroke out! Yes these cars also scream "Hey look at me and say WT#!!!
These are just some of the things I could come up with.....I could go on all day!
Remember everyone, the road is a dangerous place full of distractions. Be safe and Happy Motoring!!
For those who fought for it, freedom has a flavor the protected will never know.
I was going to say, the mirror glaze on the paint! It could draw a lot of attentions, which is dangerous! lol
You have no idea how hilarious we find this statement here at Meguiar's ever since a certain phone call involving M03 Machine Glaze, a black '68 Firebird convertible and a cow.

Sounds very interesting. I don't suppose it can be shared on the forum?
