^^^^Unfortunately this is becoming much more common with OTR truck drivers and should be another stupid act that requires a felony charge. We were following a semi the other day and I started watching him a long way back. He was all over the road, over the white stripe, across the center stripe just swaying everywhere. I told DW here is one we have to watch...there's something wrong with this guy. I waited until it seemed like he had it under control a bit and tried to hurriedly get by him. As I did I told DW to look at him and see what was wrong but I was able to look as well. He was driving that truck about 75 mph with the back of one hand on the wheel as it held a smartphone tapping on it with his other hand, oblivious to the road and his surroundings. Incompetence at its finest.
