I have an hour round trip commute for work, on 100% flat, straight interstate. I can hit the cruise control, take a nap, and arrive at my office 30 minutes later.

I usually get bored on the drive, and take note of people that pass me. I always thought that one day I would honk and act like I'm swerving out of the way of someone who is looking down at their phone.

One I day I went for it. This daddy's girl in a white benz was passing me very slowly, and looked at her iphone straight for what seemed like 20 seconds. I laid on the horn and swerved a little bit to scare her ... and she almost lost control. Once she gained control, she floored it and was out of sight in 30 seconds.

I felt pretty bad. I thought I was going to doing that girl's autopsy later that day. Lesson learned. :hs:
