I see it more and more. On Memorial Day on the freeway, there were 2 cars side-by-side going about 55-60 mph in a 70 zone. Car in left lane was weaving all over the place. Right lane guy finally inched past left lane car (red Honda) so people could cut around barely missing it. Traffic was backing up, especially slow with the RVs and trailers who couldn't accelerate well as traffic got around her. When the guy ahead of me got around her and I got behind the Honda in the left lane, I was flashing my brights to get her to move over and there was no reaction, just kept weaving. I figured she was drunk (middle of the afternoon on a holiday) and reached to call 911 just as space opened up next to her. As I pulled around, she was fully engaged in texting, only looking up occasionally to try and keep in her lane. I blew my horn but she never even looked at me, just kept texting. Traffic was backed up behind her for about a mile. This is a regular occurrence. When I'm on the road and see someone who is going well below the speed limit, tying up traffic, it's usually due to distracted driving.
I don't chat on my cell phone in the car. I'll make a call or answer the phone if it's safe, but I make it short. If I think it'll distract me due to traffic or weather conditions, I'll let it go to voicemail.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
