Today, I called 911 to report a drunk driver. The operator yelled at me for following the guy and told me to get off the phone because I shouldn't be driving with a phone to my ear. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Today, my dad took a call while driving. He always yells and curses at people who talk on their cell while driving. I asked him to get off the phone because it's dangerous, and told him he's being a hypocrite. He shook his head at me and continued talking. Seconds later, we got into an accident. FML
Today, I was driving home and got a phone call from my mom. She called to tell me that there was a cop at the bottom of our hill, and to be careful. I got a ticket for talking on my cell phone while driving. FML
Today, I saw a car swerving in front of me on the freeway, so I whipped out my cell to report the DUI. As soon as it started ringing, I see police lights in my rear view and got slapped with a ticket for using a cell phone while driving. After explaining why, the officer said, "Nice try." FML
Today, I was driving when I noticed that the guy in front was on the phone. I pulled up next to him, pulled out my phone and I made a gesture that he needed to put his phone away. It was a cop. I got a ticket for driving while on my cell phone. FML
Today, I was pulled over for a DWI. The police officer was drunk. FML

Today, while working at my call center, I took a phone call. The guy on the other line just yelled "FUCK YOU!" twice at the top of his lungs before hanging up on me. But of course, the phone agent is always at fault. FML

god damn. Report it and get him fired. That drunk driver could cause way more damage than you could've driving on the phone, and the operator would be partially responsible

I think the operator probably handled it badly and it is really good you reported the driver but I think it is dangerous to drive and phone - illegal in the UK. If you could, you should have pulled over. But I understand you felt you couldn't do that and felt you needed to follow the driver.

When the attitude starts it's a good time to hang up.

What a shame. You try do good things in life and get treated like that. All operator had to ask is for license number. For all you know person could be having medical problem. But instead yelling for no reason.

Honestly, your efforts are commendable but it's really dangerous to follow drunk drivers, it's better to take note of their licence plate, pull over and call the authorities.

You're supposed to pull over and get the plate number, then call 911 and give them the plate number and the direction/street they were driving. I agree with the operator, although they could have been more polite. It is dangerous to follow someone like that.

it's perfectly legal to drive talking on the phone.

In Wisconsin, as long as you're 18 and off your temps, you can make phone calls. They CAN pull you over if they feel it's distracting, though. They same goes for listening to music through earbuds.
