Yesterday late afternoon I found myself following a pick-up truck that was not being driven at all well. Once it mounted the pavement and twice it crossed a double white line into the path of oncoming traffic - causing several vehicles to swerve out of its way. Its speed was also erratic, varying between 25 and 35 mph (in a 30 limit).

The reason?

The driver was holding a cell-phone to his right ear whilst trying to read a street atlas gripped in his left hand that rested on the steering wheel.

After watching this for about 1/2 mile, we passed a safety camera.

And do you know what?

It didn't flash! :(
