I wish there was a way to report this...

You know I understand being into a book, but I have never thought to get behind the wheel and read while I was driving. How can someone endanger other people that way? I got a license plat number, but I'm not really sure that will make a difference. Unbelievable.

You know, driving is scary, if you stop and think about who's on the road....drunks, people who are really sleepy, AND some people can't even see! I work at a vision center, and you wouldn't believe who's driving. They'll come out of the exam room with contacts, or they'll put on their new glasses and exclaim "It's so good to be able to see!" Really, some people who are driving around can't see 2 feet in front of them.

redchief replied: You can also sign a citizen's complaint yourself.

lisar replied:
I agree. Just see what they say.

Crystalina replied: Whenever I tell DH to watch the road he always says, "I'm a good driver." And he is. He's been driving his Peterbilt for 15 yrs with no violations at all but like I told him, it's not that I'm worried about his driving, I'm worried how the other idiots on the road are driving.

A truck side-swiped me, busted out my passenger window and would have smacked me in the face with his side mirror if I had been leaning an closer to the door. He had one of those big diesels with the mirrors that stick out into the other lane. Anyway, his mirror came through my window and he just kept going. He left me there covered in glass and he could care less. More then likely the bum was either drunk or had no insurance because his vehicle was alot nicer then mine (I had my old Astro).

Other drivers are scary.

Boo&BugsMom replied: Was it a book of maps? You know, a book with road maps in it that it could have made it seem like she was reading just a regular ole book. ??? Some of those books with maps look like regular reading books.

MomToJade&Jordan replied: No this wasn't an atlas. It was a paperback. All I saw were words.

Calimama replied: Ridiculous.

A&A'smommy replied: Well I'm sure if she was spotted by a cop she would have gotten a ticket but I think they have to be caught while doing it... if you had a cell phone I would have said to call 911 and report it if nothing else you did your part!! I'm a firm believer in calling the cops!!!

Boo&BugsMom replied:
Yikes! That's scary!

Twelve Volt Man replied: I don't know about other states, but in NC, she wasn't breaking the law, so there's nothing that could be done. Now, anyone who's reading while driving, will inevitably violate another traffic law, but the act of reading while driving, in and of itself, isn't illegal. And we don't have citizen's complaints, either.
