I really like the postions of all the cars......they remind me of a puzzle.

@Tracey: Thanks Tracey! I saw that too and liked it as well. I actually waited for the traffic to move in the opposite direction before taking the picture. ;0)

It's one of mine too, it's so dangerous can't believe that any call could be that important to risk your life and that of others. I wonder what she did before mobile phones!

Nice busy traffic shot.

My brother-in-law once had a dog named Peeve. It is okay if I post comments via my phone's browser as I'm driving though, right. :-) Just kidding, although I think I prefer to see one driving and talking on the phone, than texting, reading, or putting on makeup while driving.

With all of the legislation in different areas about being on the phone or texting while driving, I think I am still okay, I don't think they have included cameras in the legislation yet. :-)

@Bonj: Ach! I hope you were kidding about mobile posting on the comments ;0) I agree, texting while driving is just a death-wish!

Haha - speaking of technological distractions, were you driving or taking pictures?

@Viewfinder: Taking pictures, of course ;0) Actually, we were stopped at a traffic light and I grabbed my camera out of the seat next to me while we were still! But I have "shot from the hip" while driving! *blush*

Well spotted good shot,

That's an international disease, though we have strict penalties (€50,- if you get caught with a cellphone in your hand while driving), everybody seems to ignore this.
I hope you didn't take this shot while driving! ;-D
