A highschool kid flipped and hit a tree and died just off the road I lived on. He was not texting. I pass the tree with its makeshift memorial every time I drive from home. Stupid Stupid loss. Its not very explainable, he wasn't on drugs, alcohol, he just goofed up(He was within 5-10MPH of the speed limit to). Very sad.
I think a real issue should be "texting on the job". Unless its business related, you are stealing the time from your employer.
OldE, if I am trying to visually communicate with someone standing off track my times go to pieces!!! I try to keep it either a very simple colored sign in which the color is the meaning(no words or symbols), or if allowed, radio. I drive by and see a black NOS energy drink billboard being held up - and know to bring it down into the pits, etc...
