Phone Using Drivers Are Selfish, Dangerous Idiots
On a recent trip to Scotland I had an unpleasant encounter with a driver who appeared to think that he was perfectly within his rights to use his phone whilst steering into Edinburgh Airport Car Park with just one hand.
When will drivers learn that driving while on the phone is illegal because it is dangerous. People have been badly injured and killed by selfish idiots, like the one I encountered at Edinburgh Airport.
What can other drivers do when they see some foolhardy idiot attempting to control their vehicle whilst engaged in a conversation on the phone?
Luckily for me the whole incident was captured on the car park security cameras. The police were called and the driver’s phone records were checked to find the times when he was on the phone. I was reassured that he would receive a substantial fine, and that’s before he goes before the magistrates charged with threatening behaviour for confronting me in the car park.
If you see someone using their phone whilst driving let them know that you disapprove, take their registration details along with location and time of the incident and call the police. If enough people complain often enough something will definitely be done.
