Don't txt and drive

Did a short trip today that involved a bit of slow moving start-stop traffic. I was queued and the lane next to me had stopped suddenly and I heard the squeal of tyres as a car locked up and almost skidded into the back of the car infront. I looked across at the now stopped driver, still holding their mobile phone - probably responding to some vital message.

Unfortunately you see people all the time driving and using their phone. I'm kind of jealous because there's no way I could control a car and do that. But today's incident shows that I'm not alone, there's nothing more important than working the pedals and getting the steering right - surely that phone thing can wait until later.
