The man behind me honked at me for going 70 in a 50, so now we're going 20 together.
I hope he packed a lunch.

I have some great news for you. Look at what took effect yesterday in my state! Using a mobile device, including at a red light, is now a primary offense (you'll get pulled over for just that).

This just applies to PA, but it's a pretty big state with a population between Sweden and the Netherlands, so it's not nothing!

    Doesn’t matter if it's not enforced. We have no holding phone rules in GA and I routinely see people using their phones while driving.

    Worse, too often these laws are selectively enforced only when cops are looking for an excuse to profile minorities and poorer drivers.

  • I live in PA and I'm not holding my breath for this shit to ever be enforced. I'm a school bus driver and last year I had a local cop pass me when I was stopped with my red flashers on letting kids off the bus. He was driving with one hand and looking at his phone in the other - never even saw me.
