I thought of that then I remembered all those things email me anyway. Now that I think about it the only voicemails I get are my car dealership 'reminding' me of the service I don't need, and my gym trying to get me to sign up for more personal training sessions.

That's it, I'm officially disabling my voicemail. These kids are on to something

Send it to 311 as a safety issue and request a No U-Turn sign and enforcement.

I don’t know if I’d send photo evidence of distracted driving to anyone.

I leave people I don’t like a voicemail asking if they received my email.

That's not from a dash cam. I'm kinda impressed how quickly you can snap a photo, but also, maybe don't hold your phone while driving. Distracted driving causes a lot of accidents.

Obviously Ray Ban Meta glasses... Definitely not a phone.

Taking this pic means he is a menace on the roads and does not deserve to share the earth with us.

I know you said this in jest, but I have a pair, the photo quality would have been better than this. Also the aspect and wide angle, just in case anyone did try to claim that.

At very least you should make sure to nail him with a brick while you’re out there.

People staring at their phones while they’re driving are some of the biggest losers around. So I wouldn’t say this is surprising but it’s rare someone is dumb enough to share that around.

My car does most of the driving. Just gotta set the cruise speed and it keeps up with traffic and stays in the lane. It does a better job than 80% of the drivers out there.

Calm down Elon. What does your owner's manual say about operating a phone while you're still legally in control of the car?

Eventually he's gonna cause an accident if he's not concentrating while operating his car. It's loser behaviour.

Random question, are the Rayban Meta glasses actually kinda neat and useful? Or are they just a gimmick in their current form?
