Viking, I agree with your phone assessment. MIchigan has a law now for hands free, but hardly anyone is following it and I don't think police are enforcing it. During rush hours (3pm-6pm) You can find many on phones, it's got to be very frustrating getting home now a days with many stopped at lights playing away with a text msg. I'm retired for 7 years now, and every year since retiring I've seen the phone stuff get worse and worse. Folks on bikes really do play with fire due to all the distraction. It was bad enough for bikers before the the phones, now it's terrible.
