So how does everyone know they were on cellphone.. the computers on the dash also are a distraction.. does the same as the cellphones.. ive seen folks messing with those while driving .. so it isnt always a cell phone.. could be the dash conputers.. also could’ve been a medical issue
Pretty hard to miss a stopped big white truck…
The driver that did “miss it” Should not be allowed to drive ever again. Some will say this is too tough, I say if you miss seeing my truck and injure someone I love, you would rather not have a license, I promise.
Hey drivers, we can’t all be on our phones at the same time and it was my turn!
We need more stop lights on 29. Drivers will get used to them. Keeps speeding down as well.
Florida has to many laws that do nothing now.
If they can read your car tag form space, they should be able to make cell phones in operatable while moving! Just an old man’s opinion.
Where in the article did it say anyone was on a cell phone? Is a reader assuming?
Florida needs a 100% hands-free cellphone law
I know how bad these roads are and I live .07 miles from that intersection in Rodgers Ridge (as per GoogleMaps)
PAY ATTENTION PEOPLE!!!!!!!
