Last time I tried to get on I-5 by the S. Waterfront I was behind a woman on the phone (yes, in a Volvo 740DL) that didn't seem aware that the speed limit had increased past 10mph. Aggravating? Oh hell yes. Perhaps a device that displays a large LED sign on the back of a vehicle when someone is on the phone that just relays the conversation to the people behind the car in question - that way, if we all have to drive like shit and dead ass slow, at least we'll have something to read and laugh at.

I mean, sure you can do it for free whilst walking up and down Hawthorne avoiding those goddamned canvassers... but if you're driving, tax tax tax! Maybe hook up some huge boat-anchor of a device to the cell-phone to make it extremely awkward (and obvious) that you're texting while driving. In addition, I think maybe people should just tax those old fucks who try to get on the onramp to the I-5 at 15mph and interrupt my cell-phone conversation!
