Me thinks he may not be using his mobile next time he's driving.

My brother, who lives in Houston, emailed me about this on Friday. He commented that the driver seemed remarkably calm about it.

Worth noting that in Texas it is legal to use a handheld mobile phone while driving - and everybody does. This has not made an appreciable difference to road statistics either compared to states that do ban their use or compared to fifteen years ago when almost nobody had them (accidents of all kinds and injuries and deaths have actually dropped over that period, at the same rate that they have in states that ban their use.)
