re: Called 911 On A Vehicle Driving Erratic Today

This is not a troll, but how difficult is it to make a phone call while using hand controls + the steering wheel to drive a vehicle?

You did right. That idiot could kill someone.

You did the right thing. Driving impaired endangers everybody or it could have been a medical issue.

Well I did have someone with me who dialed and I talked on speaker. I am not able to use phone while driving. Steer and brake with right hand, left hand I hold a button that has features like blinkers, etc..

Props....

I’ve done it more than once. Both times ended just like yours. One was an old lady escaped from assisted living w Alzheimer's.

I saw something like that yesterday on the BR bridge. A black, mid-sized GMC SUV kept swerving across all lanes to block an older red pickup truck. I was watching it through my rear-view mirror, and the SUV really seemed focused on not letting that pick-up pass. Unfortunately, EVERYONE behind the pick-up was caught up in the dispute. I was doing about 45, and I was rapidly pulling away. It was kind of surreal.
