NOW THAT'S PROGRESS! If you're farting around with your cell phone taking your eyes of the road maybe the vehicle pulls over, parks itself and tasers your dumb azz

I prefer to remain behind the vehicle in that situation in case they are drunk (or impaired in other way - texting, medical emergency). That way I have more control over avoiding a potential accident. On occasion I have called the police (hands-free). Once it was a person with an advanced case of dementia.Mel46 wrote:We were behind a minivan yesterday that was going over the line to the right, and then to the left. It was going slower than the traffic flow, and it stopped 3 to 4 car lengths from where it should have. We had a chance to pass it eventually and saw a woman with her head down as she was texting on her phone. There were 2 little children visible in the back.

This technology is a tool of oppression.
Growing up and learning to drive/ride I was always told "don't drive for the person behind you". It takes your focus off what lies in front of you. . ..We can't save people from stupidity, but just maybe we might save those who are in their way. Case in point might be the alert that lets the driver know that something is on the side or in front of the moving vehicle.
Some of the stories showing up online are really scary though, such as the kids who were crossing at their school crosswalk after school had been over for awhile, and they were hit by a distracted senior citizen who said that she didn't see them. Would that warning have helped? Who knows.
Rats. Now what will I do ?We can't save people from stupidity
