I was walking to the station a while ago and as I crossed a road at a traffic light controlled junction, I became aware the the crossing traffic that ought to be moving, wasn't. There was a hoot, and then another and another, but the lead car at the green light didn't move.
I spotted that the driver was deeply immersed in a conversation on his phone. So I stepped out into the road, paused for effect, rapped hard on the passenger window, and shouted "get off the phone!", pointing at the green light.
As he pulled away, embarrassed, I indicated to the following car with a mime that he'd been on the phone, and got a wave of appreciation. And a lady standing nearby on the pavement selling tickets to the Big Wheel said "Well done!"
If was only as I walked away, I got the pain in my knuckles from rapping so hard on the window!
