The texting gap of every car beIng 5 car lengths back


Another significant contributor is the largest driving school in Baton Rouge teaches a multi car length gap at lights. They claim it is so you don’t hit the car in front of you if rear ended but what it really does is cut the number of cars per light cycle in half.

We need a hands free only law like in other states. You have a phone in your hand or ear and you get a ticket. I guess blue tooth is only for the rich.

The problem with Baton Rouge traffic is that people are never issued tickets for “blocking the box.” I will routinely sit through multiple light cycles that only let 2-3 cars go due to people blocking the intersection. Check out Perkins @ Essen or bluebonnet at rush



i wish the worst things in the world to those people

Drive up to the blocked intersection and honk until they learn their lesson. Sometimes they will pull off into another direction.

My wife always says this, so whenever the car behind her safely comes to a stop behind her I’m like ok well now pull the frick up then if that’s why you’re really doing this

until they design very short range cell signal jammers for the zone within the inside of cars this will never stop.

they are like frickin 2 yr olds with a toy, they just cant resist the urge to text every second while they are stopped and most do it while driving too.

i mean its a frickin phone people, put it on speaker and fricking talk, you dont have to text everything
