      XPost: sac.politics, pa.politics       From: bill.clinton.epstein.rapist@hillaryclinton.com              CENTER CITY, Pa. -- A woman was caught on video not only texting       while driving, but steering the wheel with her feet on the       Schuylkill Expressway.              In a cellphone video sent exclusively to ABC7's Philadelphia-       based sister station WPVI-TV, the female driver can be seen with       her eyes glued on the phone with both hands typing.              It was a case of reckless driving so egregious, Sarah and Shawn       Delong had to record it.              "Someone is going to get killed, that's why I was so mad. You       see people on their phones all the time, but that took the       cake," Sarah told WPVI-TV Wednesday night.              >From the passenger seat of their car, Sarah started recording on       her phone.              The Delongs followed the woman's car for quite a while, and her       distracted driving continued.              "For a good 20 minutes, we were in her vicinity, whether it was       beside her or behind her," Sarah said.              Sarah and Shawn did try to get her to stop her dangerous       activity.              "At one point, we beeped at her and I yelled, 'Get off your       phone!' And she looked and smirked at me and went right back to       doing whatever it was on her phone," Sarah said.              "I've seen people reading and writing with their documents, but       not driving with your feet," Shawn said.              The Delongs say there were points where the woman was swerving.              "To see her on 76 and then going down towards Center City, that       I couldn't believe," Shawn said.              But when reckless drivers like this don't stop and end up in an       emergency room, trauma surgeon Dr. Pak Leung at Einstein Medical       Center says it's frustrating to know they've risked their lives       for a simple text.              "The number is definitely going up. I think about three year       ago, we'd probably see one maybe every other day. But now, we       tend to see it if not one, two times a day," Leung explained.              Sarah said she did get the license plate number on the car and       called state police, but they haven't gotten back to her.       However, WPVI-TV spoke to Philadelphia police, who explain that       police officers have to catch the person in the act. Other than       that, it's pretty hard for them to do anything.              Incredibly, the video is not unique to our area.              Just last week, a Colorado woman was caught texting while       speeding down the interstate with one leg propped up on the       dashboard.              A worried passenger in the next car captured the 47-second clip       and posted it to Facebook.              It has since been seen and shared thousands of times.              http://abc7.com/news/woman-caught-on-video-texting-driving-with-       feet/1466245/              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
