Spot the bad driver

This game is almost kind of fun.
Can you spot the person who is driving while talking on a cell phone? Obviously this behavior is a safety hazard. I'm afraid I will create my own safety hazard just by slowing down to see which driver is, and which driver isn't, talking on the cell phone. But I must know if I have predicted correctly. It's not so much that the talking driver is swerving. It's more like the talking driver has lost his purpose as a motorist. They drive a little slower, or at varying speeds, or they are no longer keeping pace with the other drivers. Do women do this more than men? I won't go there.

Read it and weep


The report is in for orange barrels this coming weekend. On 696, the left lanes of eastbound and westbound I-696 will be closed at Ryan Road from 9 p.m. Friday until 6 a.m. Monday. The hard-working guys (and gals) will be doing sign work.
 In Oakland County, the right lane of eastbound I-696 will be closed from Drake to Orchard Lake roads from 6 a.m. until 7 p.m. Saturday and Sunday for maintenance work.
"The Ditch" (as I call 696) seems to always be under construction. That adds to the already claustrophobic nature of the beast. Drive carefully people. Don't text and don't pass on the right.
Unless you're absolutely sure you can get away with it!
