I finally saw it myself

Saturday morning, driving in the left lane of Eastern Boulevard, I was behind one of those mini-SUVs, a Suzuki or whatever, that was going very slow and drifting across the lanes. A car was beside me and that driver was afraid to pass the slow-moving dingbat.

I approached the light at Kingston Road and got in the turn lane and looked over, expecting to see, perhaps, a senior citizen.

Instead, it was a person who appeared to be in his 20s. He was looking down at his cell phone and typing.

He was texting while driving.

I'd heard about this, like all of you have, but it was the first time I've seen it in person.

Idiot.

Now, I've seen people reading while driving. I've seen women putting on makeup while driving. But this was the worse.
