I don't apologize for the way I think......texting while driving is the scourge of society worse than drunken driving and if you and others do not believe that then you will find the problem lies within! I have a white hot hate for people who F--K with their phones while driving! It seems to not be at the top of the list of things to do for people while they are behind the wheel and I find it reprehensible that other people are paying the price for the indiscretions of some!!! 
How is that for thinking before I respond? |

even tho i agree with your sentiment concerning "distracted driving"
i see the phone up and they're immediately classified as a drunk driver or worse
which gives me the right to pass them regardless of the circumstances such as a no passing zone because i can no longer depend on their driving skills to not involve myself in their collision.

to both of you!
As for "Keeping your eyes on the road", part of effective, safe and efficient driving is being aware of your surroundings and ant imminent threats or dangers around you. Checking out distracted drivers has jump to the top of the "watch list" over "eyes on the road" mainly because texting/distracted/incapacitated drivers are so numerous.
Driving is no longer just "keeping your eyes on the road" as we were taught when we learned how to drive. Now it's "look front side and rear for wreckless drivers, look ahead for car-swallowing potholes, be a mind-reader and deduce where the next road-side repair party will be held and then keep 2 hands on the wheel (because of all the stuff listed above).
What do I think of ANY driver that texts or phones while driving?
They become the lowest form of driver, akin to unlicensed and uninsured illegal aliens when on the road.
Basically they get the same consideration from me that they deserve, since they really don't care about the lives (others) that they constantly put at risk! They're just POS's.
