Ask RiotACT: What's so interesting down there?

Believe it or not (and I expect not), I have recently taken up doing origami when stuck at traffic lights.

And this is why robot cars will become popular. Everyone aboard can remain connected while driving.

Even now, there are people who ride the free city loop buses just to play PoGo or similar games.

I have seen someone injecting while at the lights.

It is not only at traffic lights you see the ‘eyes down’.
I ride a motorcycle and also drive a Toyota Troopy. From the high vantage point of both these vehicles I can see down into the cabin of most cars. I am amazed at the times I see people texting on their laps while driving along – with both hands off the wheel and steering with the knees! What is so important that they must text immediately while endangering everyone else on the road.
I give a bit of a ‘withering stare’ to the driver when on my bike and the phone is often thrown onto the passenger seat straight away.

I’ll admit to being pulled over for looking at a text message while stopped at the lights. But yes, it is astonishing to see the number of drivers engrossed in texts or emails while driving to work. My personal favourite was following a driver home who was clearly playing Pokemon Go…

They’re avoiding your creepy smile by looking down and away?

I have seen apolice motorcycle winding its way down a line of cars waiting at the lights, peering into each window to check on this behaviour; it is being enforced.
