I was crossing the street the street at a crosswalk and I was almost run over by a driver having a heated discussion on his cell phone. I thank God that I was not hurt. The driver didn't even see me and kept going. The really shocking thing about the whole ordeal is that the driver was a police officer. Something happened to me the other day.

They are driving slow and if they are in front of you I would move as fast as I can. If they are in the next lane and you see them they act like they are in another world. I just pray they make it and don't kill anyone or their self. The law can't see what we see I just wish we could have the authority to send in The license number of the car and they will have to pay a fine. It is so dangers even without someone using their cell. Yes I agree. You can always tell when someone is on a cell phone.

Individual citizen action may be the best mechanism. Vigilantism would not be good. I THINK THAT IT WOULD BE GREAT IF OPRAH COULD ISSUE SIGNS THAT DRIVERS COULD HOLD UP AT INTERSECTIONS TO REMIND THE DISTRACTED DRIVER HOW DANGEROUS THEIR INATTENTION IS. She has marketing people and design people who could come up with some clever 8" x 11" cardboard sign with a picture of her saying something like "PLEASE off of the phone" or something. AT&T or Verizon or Nokia might pay for it and the DoT might help distribute it. Something cool from Oprah might have an impact! PLEASE Oprah– the police NEVER do anything about this.

I know of (2) different accidents that has been caused by cell phone drivers while talking or texting. Thank God that they both survived, but will they be alright? Both victims had head injuries, swelling on the brain. Both were males, one 2 years old and the other one was 19 years old. I just think that it 's ridiculous! You cannot concentrate on driving while in a conversation with someone on a cell phone. (Most people can't do two things at one time).

Apparently the work has not gotten out (or is being ignored) by our local law enforcement deputies. I have witnesses....numerous times... that a deputy was talking and driving with no bluetooth device. Let's try and be role models, people !
