Yes. Though it was likely the noise from my Blitz Nur Spec exhaust which initially attracted the vpd officer's attention. Looks like it's time to put in the silencer.
Guys thanks for not fail bombing me, thought I was going to get rained down with fails.

New AC business model: free pretzels throughout the flight. Coffee: $50/cup.

It basically boils down to this: If a cop outside your car is able to tell you're doing stuff like messing with your phone you're too distracted and subject to get a ticket. But if you're able to change songs or whatever without anyone being able to notice, you won't get a ticket.

As a side note though just pay attention to road and leave your crap alone, by their very nature no text message is important.

I hate people who text me or call me when I drive. It ruins my driving experience.

Don't even get me started. The coffee wasn't even fair trade organic. Let alone the styrofoam cup. So not biodegradable. :failed:

I'm probably gonna get failed by this...

But it's 2015 and your car still doesn't have bluetooth built-in?

On my car it does everything... select playlist, play music, call, integrate contact list and even save the whole thing into car's address book. It even shows me new msgs, social updates. I think I can even reply it somehow but I haven't bothered to venture into that yet.

It makes the whole life easier with 0 chance of getting ticketed... my question would be, why not?

Don't need a modern car, just a modern head unit. :P

Anybody notice 2 people standing at redlights with clipboards on hand? There's also a board with anti-cellphone while driving sign on it near them. I'm guessing they are jotting down distracted drivers?

u should have gotten on your hipster bike & just rode to calgary, then tell everyone on social media your doing this for a good cause :troll:

speaking of distractions, a few years back i heard on the radio that a girl was walking long bridge topless, its gonna be hard to keep away from that (not sure if u heard of this or not)

After I detail the car I am gonna get a professional photographer to take some pics. Will post them soon. Cell phone pics wont do the car justice plus I don't have a nice SLR hence the decision to go pro somone of the caliber of Dylan King or Marcel Lech :whistle:
