I was waiting to cross the road on the way to work this morning when I noticed that the driver waiting in the lane beside me was typing a message into their Blackberry. It's not unusual to see people sitting at the lights doing all manner of things so I didn't pay too much attention. The lights soon changed and I made my way across the road and continued down the street. A short time later the car with the Blackberry user drove past ... and the driver was still feverishly tapping at the device's tiny keyboard. I watched incredulous as the driver continued to drive with their forearms pressed against the steering wheel, clearly squinting to see what they were typing onto the tiny screen.
Talk about dangerous driving! Personally, I am happy for the few moments in the day when I am out of reach of email and can focus my attention on a book or something equally frivolous like watching where I'm driving.
