  • Don't text in front of a pan handler at stop lights.......

    My buddy was just given a "Distracted driving" ticket by a cop dressed as a pan handler waiting at a stop light. The cop's sign even said he was a cop........ well played copper, well played!

        Isn't there some law about people walking among stopped traffic?

                  Fair enough, they can see you texting they can come over, but they dont see you they can just walk through traffic?

                    In some cities, a bum with a badge = cop killer. Not sure I'd want to roll down my window....

                      We are in Calgary. Not Compton.

                      But did the bum give him the ticket? In that article, it is a radio trap.

                        OK I can maybe see texting being ticketable at red lights but changing the radio station? FFS that is BS. If I got a ticket for changing the radio station at a red light I would take it to court, just to be another one that makes that mess a even big sinkhole.

                          I'm exaggerating, but the whole thing is a bit outrageous.

                          *funny, just talked to a lady at my office. She says she usually grabs her phone and tries to look distracted when the panhandlers approach her car.
