traffic rant

I am quilty of talking on my cell phone while driving, however I keep it short and to the point and stay focused on the road. While driving home today I watched an idiot driver talk on the phone from 270 & Ladue all the way to Hwy 40 and K. This idiot was speeding and swirving in and out of the traffic lanes without using a blinker of any kind. At one point he had to swirve to the curb to avoid hitting another car because HE wasn't paying attention. Did he get off the phone, noooooooo. He continued to talk. What could possible be that important? And if it is that important, pull off to the side of the road and give your full attention to the person on the phone.

I know we live in a culture that is cell phone dependant now, but when you get on the road and make other driver feel unsafe it's time to hang up. I so wanted to follow the driver and give him a piece of my mind but I had to pick up Jack.
