Yep, as a biker I now intentionally try to look at the driver through the windshield to see if their eyes are down on a cell phone. They are scarily more frequent than you would think.

- strbean 7y agoAs a driver, every once in awhile I glance at the faces of other drivers on the road. Sometimes I get the feeling that more than 50% of road-time in the US is spent looking at a phone. It's enough to make me wonder if "x% of accidents involved texting and driving" is even a convincing metric. If god damned everybody is texting and driving all the god damned time, of course lots of accidents involve texting and driving.
