On her phone, snap chatting, no seat belts, kids in the car, watching a movie on a second Ipad.....going 90mph. Fuck people like this that endanger others on the road

You let them drive without reporting it?

How fast are you going trying to keep up with her?

It is a car not a phone booth dumb ass.
Arliem
If someone doing this hits you it should be perfectly legal to repeatedly punch them in the face til the cops arrive.
ReverseTransmission
If you have a passenger take a video starting with the license and then drive by filming. Honk to see drivers face and send it to the cops.
noelleo21122000
Your referring to 90% of the jack asses on the road.
TerraformTrent

Should have also posted a picture of the license plate!

Saw a women in a minivan full w/kids. no belts. Eating a burger in one hand, phone in the other driving with her knees. I Called the cops
LordShadowsbane
You almost certainly prevented a death that day. That's insane, and thank you.
thefriendlyasshole12
Call the state police and give all the information you can. Reckless endangerment of the kids and other motorists.

Give them this picture and the license plate number.

That's a $300 distracted driving ticket here in Alberta.
fembot42
$490 and 3 points in Ontario. It's amazing how many people think just cuz they're at a red light it's OK
idonthinksoo
I forgot! 3 points here too.
ottotravel
People risk lives by being on their phones while driving. I am not a fan of cops but would love it if they actually enforced these laws.
kielbasasausagethesausagemaster
They do in Maine
fembot42
They do in Ontario. Upped the demerit points and fine. Hasn't deterred people one bit.
SmolTenk
Such a shame that the U.S. is so big, in country there are usually cops near enough to get these people. (calling them also helps.)
mailman7777777
She's hitting the brakes while going 90MPH?

Did the officer who took your call tell you that you're a little snitch?

sidneybear
And then nobody ever checks it because it's just a make your own case and not something urgent or they're "not on the area"
Chazwozza
Absolutely, yes. Many states/provinces have fines specifically for Cell Phone use, and for others it's considered distracted driving
avidatheist
Check your states laws. At worst the cops will only get them for speeding.
WellWellWellLookWhoItIs
Distracted driving. Reckless driving. No seatbelt. Lots of other charges in some states.
Yellowdart49
Cops can only do something if they see them in the act. So, just call, and hopefully a cop sees them before they get home
FlintstonesChewableMorphine
Yeah here we can dial *hp to get highway patrol. Friend did it to some people that appeared drunk. Pulled them over in a couple minutes
HitlersWetDream
I know at least in Indiana you can get ticketed or possibly arrested (don't quote me on that last part) for texting and stuff
SirTiddlywink
I live in Indiana as well and you cannot get arrested but the price of the ticket is ridiculously high.
HitlersWetDream
Thanks I knew they recently changed the laws regarding that but I wasn't 100% sure on it.
SirTiddlywink
No problem! My roommate in college got a $500 ticket for it, that's how I know lol.
HeroOfCanton02
Yes. Lots of distracted driving laws. Make sure to get plate, make/model and if you're on the express way pay attention to exits/NESW
vspacefacedv
Almost did this yesterday but didn't think it would do anything. We need answers!!
TheGrumpest
Call it in as reckless driving, esp. if they're weaving.
LumpWithaLeafHat
I live on Texas. If you give them the plate and make and model, they will be pulled over.
fenix210
In CA the easiest way to do it is make the call based on the reckless driving. The cellphone will just make it worse.
HadMeSomeChickens
Generally no. By the time someone would get to them, they are in a different jurisdiction. Maybe staties but they would have to see it too
LumpWithaLeafHat
I called in a car and then watched as two cops turned onto the road with their lights on and pulled the guy over. Very fast response.
TwoEyedWilly
I think your answer is the most realistic one here.
FlintstonesChewableMorphine
Highway patrol is state wide though
HadMeSomeChickens
That's why I said staties. But that's only on a highway.
Megazordz
Legit question: Do you call 911 or the non emergency line?
Tirefire45
Depending on severity. Drunk drivers and reckless driving, 911. Cars parked illegally, non emergency. If you're driving and it's a wtf, 911.

Them, but I was 16 and driving and I didn't know if an exception could be made for me to use a phone while driving legally.

Good. Some call it snitching, but when there are serious safety violations, I draw the line.

You cant touch a phone at all while in operation of a vehicle. You can have it on a stand but you gotta pull oflver to use it.
GloriousWalrus
What?
Worgslarg1
Pretty sure that varies by state, TBH- I know use of calling is legal, depending on age, in Ohio, but texting isn't.
xSirDubstepx
Unless your a rebel :^)
bamblebimble
Not in all states, in mine you can use it for anything but texting while driving
DennyOverlordd
that is so dumb. Bluetooth/speaking i fully agree as its hands off but hond on is sooo dumb.
bamblebimble
Dumb but it's still a lie to say it's illegal.
SpongebobReferences
I had it on my lap on the drive option, so it follows you and you don't have to touch it. By the time it fell off my lap I knew where I was.
Ansatsunin
... Which is still hugely irresponsible, dangerous, and negligent, so fuck you just as much as the bitch in OP's picture.
SpongebobReferences
Apparently you just suck at driving
DennyOverlordd
but what if it fell off before you got there? would you attempt to snipe pick it up?
SpongebobReferences
No, I would be aware of how long it would take to get it out of the crack.

Best way to deal with the stress is to have a few shots first. Airline bottles are easy to open, even while watching the road.

I've also seen someone doing this. I was in total disbelief. It was thick highway traffic and the dude was fully immersed in his paper.

Aftermarket horns for any vehicle (mostly seen on Subarus) that are much louder than OEM ones. (118dB for the Supertones IIRC)
