Taking the bus has made me more aware of how prevalent the issue of distracted driving is. It's not a once in the blue moon thing, I can look over, and it seems like every 10 drivers we pass one is on his/her phone streaming or facetiming.

Drivers think that just because their phone is mounted, they can do whatever they want. Sorry, does not work that way. Your phone should be mounted for GPS and GPS ONLY. If you cannot handle the notifications, set your phone to DND. My new car has Android Auto and even with that I can set a DND message.

Yes! I commute in on a bus on Route 3 and it’s crazy and disgusting how many are full on texting on a HIGHWAY! Stop the insanity!

>Typing something into their phone or facetiming/video chatting

I saw this the other night while driving home from work. Was the first time I witnessed it and really couldn't believe it. How can you even manage to focus on the road while facetiming? I don't get it.

Speaking of the photos and videos - a few years ago I was driving down the parkway to Cape May, and in front of me was a young girl (in a Jeep Grand Cherokee, mind you) going all over the place because she was taking selfies. My jaw nearly dropped to the floor.
