My dad texts and drives when he borrows my cars
Its amazing watching him type whole paragraphs while rowing gears.
Annoys the hell out of me because all my cars are " beaters"

He can't wait until he gets to his destination, or pull over to text?

Dunno hes always doin some **** on his phone
Constantly.
Its even worse when hes in one of his cars
Taking 27 down to miami in his mercedes is basically 5% driving and 95 on his phone.

He sets his cruise to 100 and ****s about on his
phone the whole time.

Guess hes old enough that driving is more of a chore.

I've heard of an app that is in development that if the car is moving, it will not let you use the phone other than to take hands free calls.

Sure hope he doesn't hurt anyone.

He told me later that there was no way he wanted it around the beach crowd and just felt better swapping it out. I kicked a little more into his college fund that night.
THATS awesome! I wonder if my son would have done the same if I let him keep it that night?
