Rode up to a junction today, a guy in his car with son in the passenger seat. Dad’s playing away with his phone. Fine, I thought, the lights are good and long I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt. I set off at the green light and he caught up after 100m or so, still on his phone. He was going just the right speed I could stay level, wait for him to return my stare and made the “call me” sign with my hand. He was almost immediately apologetic, like he was waiting for someone to pull him up on it. The conversation I was having with myself if he’d have got shirty centred around the example he was setting his son, who in maybe 5 years time could be driving himself and accustomed to that behaviour.
That facebook video above needs to be on national TV.
