My favorite thing is to blast the horn as I pass. If I see the wheel jerk or the brakes engage I chuckle

Use the phone symbol - thumb and little finger extended. Hold it to your ear then turn it down like you are hanging up.


Used to do this until the “hang loose” gesture became more widespread

I find it too distracting to unzip, withdraw it up half of my pants leg and put it up by the window without being as distracted as they are...

Consistency my man.

I hold my phone out of the window. Then clasp my arm right behind my elbow, while thrusting the phone arm upward slightly.

It’s the universal “ put your phone up your arse “ gesture.

Haha. Well the main point was I realized it was hopeless to stop it. Now I just lay on the horn at people if they look like they might start to cross the center line coming at me.

If you get honked at on Highland Road by an oncoming car, that’s me you jerk on the phone! Pay attention before you kill me or someone else.

Yes, just hold your phone up while you look at them. Maybe also say, "get off your ^$(&^ phone" or something like that. I'm sure they'll get the message.

I’ll talk to the next cop who almost hits me texting and driving about this.

Just give em a little bump. Nothing gets them off the phone quicker than spinning out in the grass.

I find the “thumbs down” to be the most effective for most forms of driving feedback- gets the point across, but doesn’t risk a psycho shooting me

I’ve seen more people than ever lately who are texting and driving. It’s insane.

It sucks to see people doing it but I can see you rear-ending another car while you’re gesturing to texting dude to put his phone down.

As frustrating as it is, sometimes it really is better to mind your own business and move on down the road.

It's insane. I do t get the people holding the phone up while watching something. For goodness sake get a holder.

The whole cop "quota" thing is false cause they could hit their numbers in a week.

Gestures are pointless. Distracted drivers, which is 50% of them, with another 30% people the people that never check their mirrors, won't see you flipping them off even if you're right beside them. The other 20% are me, and just sitting behind you in the left lane of any road.
