Remember those days long ago how scary it was to follow a vehicle that was all over the road, speeding up, then slowing down for no apparent reason, plus stopping at green lights along with other erratic behavior? You naturally assumed the driver was drunk or on drugs and looked for the nearest pay phone, pulled off the road and called the police.
We've come a long way since then. Now if you see someone driving in such a manner, you naturally assume they're on their cell phone. Instead of pulling off the road at the nearest pay phone, however, with today's technology, you can simply use your own cell phone to call the police right from your car and report the irresponsible, reckless behavior. Of course, you have to be careful not to end up all over the road and speeding up or slowing down while talking to the police. Otherwise, someone might report you.

Jerry,
This is a wonderful essay about those drivers who talk on the cell phones. I do relate to this.
You have a great blog.

Jerry, how true about cell phone users. When we pull up behind a car in the right lane going slow or not driving well, Meakin always says, "Probably talking on the cell phone." He's almost always right. My brother in law lives in NY and it's against the law to talk on the cell phone unless it's a hands free device. Think we'll ever see that here?

Jerry, I have an award for you but was afraid to pass it to you. Stop by my kitchen when you get a chance and you'll understand.
