I got hit a few months ago by some bimbo talking on her phone while executing a left hand turn at a very dangerous intersection. She almost caused a serious three car wreck. Fortunately, we all drove away.
Car radios were kind of an afterthought, they weren’t installed in car dashes until the 1940s. Early advertisements stressed the safety angle of not taking eyes off the road to fuss with the radio, so the ON/OFF switch and volume controls were via a footswitch, much like the old style bright/dim switch.
Now I have to watch out for some schmuck downloading and watching pron movies! Sheesh.
I was just on the way home and a lady in a car was stopped next to me at a red light. She had one hand on the phone and was using the other hand to air sketch whatever she was trying to communicate to the person on the other end of the conversation.
When the light turned green she was still waving her free hand as I left.
