back on the bike, and counting cell-phone drivers

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Toronto, 2017.11.01

I counted 6 drivers operating their vehicle with a cellphone in hand as I glided past a line of 37 slow-moving cars. It's a depressingly constant number, hanging around 1:10 to ~1:6. Boo!

(I did see the fellow with the red BMW X6 and the personalized license plate again. He's now batting 6 for 6 without a phone in hand.)
