In Utah, no such threat exists, so people are more blatant and rude whilst on the road. Naturally their behavior does a 180 when not behind the wheel. My wife attributes Utah driving to sexual frustration.
I think your wife correct.

Disney nailed in it with this cartoon in 1950:


Things sure haven't changed much in the last 62 years eh?

Cellular devices and autos do not mix. My latest was a guy stopped at a red light. Our left turn lane was given headway by the green turn arrows. Bonehead on his cell phone in the opposing lane to continue straight decides since some cars are moving it is ok for him. If I was not paying attention there would be bent metal and plastic everywhere. As I use my horn to good effect the guy with the phone to his ear is looking at me as he drives by like I was doing something wrong. The idiot did even take the phone away from his ear. People can be incredibly stupid behind the wheel of a machine that used incorrectly can kill.

Part 1



Part 2

I usually follow idiots like this and call 1800-grab-DUI, which is the hotline for OSP. Then I follow them until the troopers pull them over.
