A Lake Country woman害羞草研究所檚 fury over an overt case of distracted driving is evident in the video she took to document it.

害羞草研究所淗ey **! Are you kidding me?!害羞草研究所 Jamie Lynn yelled out the window in clear frustration at a young man who is seen staring at his phone while heading south on Glenmore Road Thursday evening at about 6 p.m.

The man is seemingly oblivious to her calls, honks and attempts to get his attention.

害羞草研究所淚 was yelling at him for 30-40 seconds before I even started filming on my phone. He didn害羞草研究所檛 even look up with my screaming and yelling and honking,害羞草研究所 explained Lynn.

害羞草研究所淚 mean it was over a minute of filming before he even realized we were at his side. I was hanging out the passenger window filming him and he clearly was not even aware I was there.害羞草研究所

She said the man finally looked up at her in surprise and lowered his phone.

害羞草研究所淗e then picked it right back up and started looking at it again,害羞草研究所 said Lynn in disbelief. 害羞草研究所淚t害羞草研究所檚 a very busy area and at 6 p.m. too, holy cow.害羞草研究所

Shortly after this incident the man reportedly turned on to a side street and disappeared.

Lynn said she felt compelled to start recording as she wanted others to witness what she had.

害羞草研究所淗e did not look up once, and he was going 70 km/h,害羞草研究所 said Lynn. 害羞草研究所淚 was just infuriated, I was horrified. If there were people in front of him he would have bowled them down. He had no idea. He shouldn害羞草研究所檛 be on the road.害羞草研究所

She said she could clearly see him scrolling through his Facebook page while he drove. She has since reported the incident to police and hopes this man is held responsible.

害羞草研究所淚t has to stop, it害羞草研究所檚 got to stop,害羞草研究所 said Lynn. 害羞草研究所淚害羞草研究所檝e never seen it this bad before, I was so rattled, I was shaking so bad.
