We've all seen it. People automatically assume it is time to catch up on all those phone calls once they set foot inside the car. There are also many indicators of a driver talking on the phone, including driving slower and inability to maintain a consistent lane position. If you see someone talking on a car phone move away from them and keep an eye on them. It is probably not a good idea to pass them and get directly in front of them. Keep them in front of you or if you do over take, make sure to stay in a different lane. Apply the same mentality to those "texting" while driving. It is not uncommon to see a handheld poised right next to the steerign wheel, or a newspaper/book either!
