It's People Like Us

[FoxtrotGolfXray 5.0]

Some of you may have seen the trailers for this on tv recently, as it has been doing the rounds.

The full video is below. It runs for 22 minutes, which I know is a long time, but it is well worth it. If you don't want to watch all of it, at least watch the first few minutes, as it is an eye opener as to what some people will do on the road with their mobile phones.

And remember, these people knew the cameras were being put into their cars. Imagine what they would have been like without that knowledge

I've shared this video at work as a safety share with my work colleagues, as it is not just the road where phones can be a hazard.

If you have teenage drivers in your household, I'd also suggest you have them watch this too.

I got a few minutes in and these people annoy me. I have 2 phones. No it's not 1 for the wife and one for the girlfriend. Ones the work phone and when I'm driving the work car it's in a holster and on bluetooth. If my personal phone rings or gets a message it can wait. If it's that important everyone close to me knows to call the work phone and I answer off the steering wheel. I don't have any social media accounts and honestly don't give a crap about what other people are doing every waking hour. My wife is the opposite and she lost her licence a while back (she has it back now) for mobile phone use.

These idiots who say they never text while driving are the ones you see looking down before they stop behind you at the lights. Getting the phone ready as soon as they see the red light 200m ahead.

Seriously if you brain is so screwed you cannot sit at lights for 3 minutes without stimulating your brain with your phone, please seek medical help. That's an addiction

Teenagers? Lol that's like 5% of people who use their phone while driving.

I turn the cell phone off when driving.
Half the time out in the country Vodafone doesn't work anyway let alone data connectivity.
