Okay, that's fine. We can have a discussion about that.
But your original assertion was that it was 'abuse' to tell someone to get off their phone. Then, when this was challenged, you proceeded to suggest that only those who "yell down every single piece of law breaking, all the time, no matter what the context" can legitimately disagree with your opinion that it is, indeed, 'abuse' to tell someone to get off the phone.
This - charitably - is a non-sequitur.
Do you still think that?
My original assertion wasn't that it was abuse - that's plain quote mining. Yes I mention abuse in my
original post, but I clarified it in the
follow up post. I was off-handedly referring anecdotally to the videos I've seen where people have literally yelled abuse at drivers, but stated that they didn't report it.
It was probably poorly put originally but it was 11:30pm at night
It's been insinuated that I don't think it's a big deal, and that I've been caught doing it myself (both of which I've rebuked).
I do think it's a big deal. But I still stand by my assertion that if someone, in their bubble of a world view, think it's OK to use their phone whilst driving, they will not be convinced whilst driving along by a stranger.
If you want to film it to make a point, fair play, but report it too, because car drivers aren't going on YouTube to watch clips of themselves using mobile phones.
