Tool on a mobile

Interesting commute home tonight. Approaching my road, took primary position ready to turn right into it then signalled right before drifting centre....car behind sounded his horn at me - way too close to me and driving like a tool. As I turned into my road I looked back to display my, um....distaste at his agggressive driving only to see that the tw@t was on his mobile. C*ck! Sorry. Had to get that off my chest....had a gutful today with reckless drivers in the wet. :evil:

    Don't get mad, get his mobile and make a complaint. Even if it's your word against his the police still have to talk to him.

    That would have been ideal but he clearly had no intention of slowing as I turned round. The opposite in fact. It's quite amazing how many drivers I see on their phones during my commute to and from work. Maybe it's my imaginagtion but I seem to notice this happening more since the law changed. Or maybe we're more aware because it's now illegal and it's more prominent in our minds.

    I had a guy nearly rear end me this morning, as he overtook I saw he was on his mobile, holding it in his right hand up to his left ear!!! really clever. I caught up with him at the next RAB and thought about saying something through his open window but decided against it.

    Same here.

    Semi serious idea-> I reckon they should replace car keys so that you have to insert your mobile into a slot in the dash, take that phone out, the engine cuts out.
