Even though DD is now illegal in most states and provinces, like many of you, if anything, I'm seeing more and more of it on the road all the time. I'll see drivers seemingly engaged in lengthy conversations on their c phones while doing 120 km/hr on our freeways, all the while weaving all over the place, oblivious to all others on the road....not only dangerous but a major PAIN to other law abiding drivers!
So it got me thinking...what about the person at the "other end of the line", the guy or gal that they are talking to? If they are aware that they're talking to someone who's operating a motor vehicle, how can that sit well with them? If it was you wouldn't that piss you off a little? Wouldn't you loose a little respect for the other person?
So here's my unofficial poll:
If someone makes a
non-urgent phone call to you and you find out that they are in the process of operating a motor vehicle, do you:
(A) Tell them to STFU and that you are terminating this conversation immediately!..and then give them a piece of your mind when you talk to them next.
(B) Suggest they pull over when safe but carry on the conversation.
(C) Carry on the conversation..."it's not my problem!"
