The Editor,
Re. "Distracted drivers still plaguing roads" (The Tri-City News, Feb. 4).
Before the distracted driving laws came into effect last year, I equipped our family vehicles with visor-clipped Bluetooth hands-free speakers - hands-free incoming calls, two-button voice-assisted outgoing calls. My family of four quickly adapted to the new technology and finds it convenient and practically zero on the distraction scale.
We all also notice more frequently other drivers, who don't get it - on their cellphones, looking down texting and looking everywhere except out the windshield.
The most bizarre offender, which I spotted on Gaglardi Way at 4:45 p.m. last Friday afternoon chatting away on a cellphone in his left hand was a supervisor with the BC Ambulance Service in an unmistakable white SUV. You would think he would get it.
