It's because she's a Prius driving professor. The phone was innocent.

I would like to see technology develop where if a cell phone is in the car and the motor is running, the phone is automatically dead.

You want to text? Turn off the motor.

kids have no feel for the road at that point, anyway

saw somewhere a study on eye fixation between new drivers and seasoned drivers that showed the kids looking no more than a few car lengths ahead most times, while everybody else was staring down what was coming up

Lol. That is a fucking GENIUS idea

It's not being a teen that's the problem, it's them being shitty drivers just because they'll be 21 (and by your logic, haven't driven before) doesn't make them magically become a better driver.

pfffffft, like you can help it!

I will slam on the brakes or nail the gas to get the hell away from people and get some space of my own but some of those cocksuckers will match me move for move, like they're drafting off the side of me and are unable or unwilling to drive anywhere else on the goddamned road

Also seems to me that a common theme was severe over correction once the saw they were headed for trouble.  That is, by far, worse than the distracted driving.  There are tons of things that can happen out on the roads that requires quick movement, and if you do not know how to not over correct, you are screwed.

$hitty music was a factor with cell phone use in every example. The video is inconclusive at best. Further research is needed.

Statistically speaking, we can deduce from this video that r&b is very prevalent as a factor in the types of teen drivers who choose to be distracted while operating a motor vehicle, even at high speeds on the freeway.

 Yeah I bump up the cruise by a mile or two or down a mile or two and they still want to pace off my quarter panels.  Thanks guy, now if I have to make an emergency lane change you are going to pit me.   Stupid self absorbed fucks.  Roads are full of them

One time I was waiting at a stoplight behind a guy who had his nose buried in his cell phone.  He was first in line and I was second.  I honestly don't know what prompted me to do this, but I shook my head and punched my horn.  I guess he thought I was indicating to him that the light had turned green.  Without even looking he pulled forward about 15 feet before he noticed that the light was still red.

My job takes me across 35 counties and not a day goes by that I don't pass somebody coming the other way half in my lane as they're staring at their cell phone.

I don't know, I'm quite skilled at talking and still being able to keep my eyes on the goddamn road.  Texting, not so much.

Why I don't get is why they're actually typing to text? I don't know of a phone on the market today that doesn't have some kind of speech to text.

I see a bunch of spoiled brats with fancy newer cars and all sorts of gadgets to play with.

Back in my day I had to keep both hands on the wheel and stay alert because the steering on my 20 year old worn out truck would wander on its own and you never knew what direction you would go if you had to stomp on the brakes hard. I was happy to have tires that stayed inflated and an AM radio with a single speaker that made enough noise I could hear it over the rusted out exhaust. And we didn't have all these safety features like air bags and seatbelts and floorboards you cant fall through. If you wanted to live it took work and you had to pay attention to stay between the ditches.
