Timely thread as just yesterday on my home from daycare with the kids, a driver blew half way through a red light while looking at their phone and only because I was paying attention and saw them not looking (my advance green) I was able to stop and avoid getting t boned.

Why are so many people on their phones while driving? Just bringing it up gives me rage.
Driving into town on the #1 yesterday from Banff, there was someone in a minivan ahead of me who was watching a video on some screen over/replacing his rear view mirror. He wasn't keeping a constant speed and when I was finally able to get into the left lane to pass him (which was hard because traffic in that lane was faster) there was a huge gap in front of him.
