So glad the dumbphone generation has the proper maturity level for dealing with a two ton machine in dangerous weather by being engrossed in some stupid game. The radio doesn't work?

He/she is making the best out of a bad situation. It's an easy game to put down if you gotta move.

but it is illegal to text or play games on your cell phone in MA when in the driving lanes, even when you are stopped at a light.

Once you feel the thud of the pedestrian/cyclist you hit, it should be very easy to put down the phone before anyone sees it. I mean then you can at least honestly play the "I didn't see them!" card.

I mean, its not like your driving a 2-3 ton machine capable of causing massive damage, amirite?

Its almost why I love the winter commute home better than in the months when the sun is still up after work. I can see the nice, subtle blue glow illuminating the car interior, give me a good indication of which clowns could be bothered less with road safety. Lot harder to see that glow in daylight.

Or maybe we can attach display lights to each car with a nice glowing side reading "Cellphone in use", ya know, kinda like the service lights seen on cabs?

I'm sure it was a grand way to pass the time when it took twice as long to drive home from somewhere as it normally takes us to bike.

Oh, and, yes, I was driving.

Don't assume Madamme Candy Crush was driving, either. Although, if she is, OFF WITH HER HEAD!

The sad thing is Candy Crush is not even that good. Compare it to Puzzle Quest, especially the latest version featuring a Marvel Super Heroes theme. Much more fun. Similar game play - but with a plot and better features.

But really, if you're stopped in traffic that is no excuse to whip out the phone. Listen to the radio to pass the time.
