Luckily no one did but you really have no control over some idiot with a cell phone who's not paying attention. So this Shift person was not very smart at the way he stated his idea. Then again his mentallity came out when he made the comment about people being more observant when they were on the phone.

I suppose that would make sense if Susan was say, already going the speed limit and jumped 10-15 mph to get closer to the car in front of her. But she was accelerating up to the speed limit as she was slower. It's up to the person changing lanes to signal, make sure no one is in the way or will be, then change lanes. You can't do this talking on the cell phone. That is why the cell phone driver was cited and not Susan. Changing lanes you have to Yield regardless of what the driver in the other lane is doing.
