   I ride a motorcycle so I must be hyper aware of what drivers around me   
   are doing.  Yes, I do look inside their cars and see their heads   
   pointed down to their laps or phones being held out to the side while   
   ignoring the road in front.  You can also tell when someone ahead of   
   you is looking at their phone.  They cannot keep up with the traffic   
   ahead of them and leave large gaps, they drive erratically and can't   
   stay in their lane.  Sitting at an intersection waiting to make a left   
   turn I can see drivers turn in front of me and immediately start   
   looking at their phones again.  This is an epidemic and not constrained   
   to just young people.   
      
   What does it matter what they're looking at on their phones?  The fact   
   is their attention is on something else than the road and they are   
   placing others in danger.  Are you one of them too?
