It's as if all of the people who are patient and civil seem to allow their fellow drivers more leeway until they realize that the shmuck or shmucket in from of them is talking on their cell phone while creeping along like a four mile an hour granny (even if she is) and then begins the cursing, hand gestures, horn blowing, and pissy looks that could kill. Oddly enough the moron in front of this primer of patience doesn't even realize the mischief they are causing driving while talking.
It is clear that if you drive and talk at the same time you are causing a lot of trouble for those around you, even if you think you are not engaging in dangerous driving behaviors. Let me send you folks a clue. If you aren't paying attention to the road and employing defensive driving techniques, you are engaging in dangerous behavior.
You may not be hitting someone with your car, but just as many people die and are seriously injured by someone hitting you with their car. When you are driving in a crowded street for God's sake turn the phone off, put down your beer or your joint, clear your head and let's act like safety conscience adults.
