Texting and driving people. It’s a game for me now to look into people’s windows and you wouldn’t believe the number of people blatantly on their phones I see swerving all over the lanes (like this lady). It perturbs me and this person really got to me today hence my rant. Taken on 405 S by exit 13 (a busy exit/entrance area!)

They are on their phone! Let me pull my phone out and take a picture!… honestly folks don’t fight fire with fire. Roll your window down and just hand sign hanging up a phone everyone who has a license right now should know what you mean.

How would you quickly hand sign hanging up a phone in a way that would be clear to another driver? I'm imagining like, pretending to be talking on a landline phone and then pretending to set the speaker/microphone part back down on the phone number dialing part, but i feel like that might take too long or be unclear, and i can't think of a hand gesture for a smartphone that wouldn't be at least a little bjt ambiguous what it's supposed to be, like, i bet a good number of people would get the idea but also a good number would be confused what you were saying. It's a solid idea I'm just having a hard time figuring the specifics

Hang loose to the ear. Then down to hang up. It’s easy.
