I was P.O'ed, she didn't like it, either

Distracted driving just needs to carry a heavier price than the menial little fines which are in place now. It technically isn't the same as impaired driving but the results can be and quite often are the same. Shouldn't the penalty be similar?

Have you ever done a shoulder check just to turn back and have someone pulling in front of you? Were you distracted because you "momentarily" weren't looking ahead? If they had shoulder checked they wouldn't have cut you off. Are they guilty of dangerous driving?

We all know that when we drive we have to watch out for the other driver as well as ourselves. Right, wrong or indifferent.
