By this I mean people driving on the road completely not paying attention and by that I mean looking at the damm phone, mp3 player or tablet while driving. It is getting bad you can see them driving slow and waving in and out of the lanes. You pass them by and they are staring down at the device for a long time( And I don't think they are counting hairs). I always try to get away from them. Don't get me wrong I love technology I am a geek for all that, but I guess I still got my common sense. And the new trend I keep seeing is the one's driving wearing headphones considering that most new cars are more quiet inside and many headphones have some sort of passive or active noise canceling features I still don't understand why they do it.

Just my 2 Cents

Cheers

    Pretty sure I saw an iPhone commercial at some point with a driver using earbuds, with only one of them in. I thought it odd they would encourage that.

    I ride in a car (not driving) all over town every day and it's frightening how many people are on phones. Not exaggerating it's at least 60%, we saw a lady reading a book today, eating, shaving etc. I guarantee this guy from last week takes the cake, I kid you not he is playing an banjo and driving in traffic.

    Between cellphones, GPS, radio with video, drunks, and stupid people, it's pretty much a war zone.
    Now when the light turns green, you have to honk a couple times to get the line moving.
    The guy in front of me always starts up on the yellow, so I have to wait through another light.
