I don't claim to be compliant 100% of the time, but do tend to be on the roadside a bit. This sticker (without the side text) is on the back of my work vehicle.

In Arkansas, the police can now check your phone to determine if you've used it before an incident. It is a bit extreme but we have a high number of incidents we have in our state.

Hard to prove

No, the cell phone leaves a constant footprint, specially while being operated.

About a week and a half ago. Coming home from work (I take the old two lane highway, never any traffic). As I approached a down hill area, I noticed something in my lane. As I got closer it became apparent there was a pick up truck fully in my lane coming at me. Thank goodness I was in my car as I had to go crashing into the ditch at 55 mph. I'm sure it was only seconds but it seemed like a long time I was crashing through the brush. I remember leaning back in the seat so the air bag wouldn't smack me. Thankfully missed all the trees and the the car slid sideways and put the front tires back up near the road right before I would have sideswiped a metal "curve" sign. The ***** in the truck didn't even stop. Fortunately I wasn't stuck, so I chased her ass down. She stopped as soon as she saw me flying up behind her. Quick snapped a picture of her plate in case she took off and called the police. I avoided talking to her because I was so pissed. Turns out she was trying to answer her fugging phone. She got a ticket for careless driving. I told the officer she fled the scene, and based on her account, he agreed, but I guess maybe that would be hard to prove. So my Challenger is still in the body shop. It didn't get bent but the front and right side got scuffed up. If I had been stuck she would have gotten away scot free, and I would have had a single car, at fault accident on my record. Now had I been on the Rocket........

Sorry to hear about you and your Challenger... Shared with my wife as she an SRT Challenger owner; and her heart goes out to you as well. Driving here Miami (new here) has become an art at avoiding this kind of thing...

The Ram 1500 I bought in August so far I've replaced the motor, power steering pump (twice), and the starter.

I've had 4, 5.7 Hemis. Still have 3 of them. Been real happy with them. My 05' Dodge Magnum has 235,000 miles and still runs like a champ !

I thought I was getting a good motor. Boy was I wrong. At least the new motor has a 3 year 100,000 mile warranty.
