keeping this off the main thread for obvious reason
As a bobby in this old country, i've had several experiences with people on mobiles whilst driving. It is my pet hate, along with children in cars with no seatbelt.

Anyhoo, a little pea. Out on patrol one day, sat at the front of a queue at traffic lights, i see a guy on his phone come to a halt directly infront of me as he's turning right. I can't really justify doing a u-turn to stop him as i was on the way to a higher priority job, so decided to give him a little shock.

I turned my siren and lights on for about 2 seconds, at which point he sees me just as he's setting off, panics and drops his phone - out of his open window! It smashed on the floor and most likely driven over several times.

It may not have been professional, but i laughed all the way to my next job.

Oh beautiful schadenfreude there
and one hopes it was a very expensive phone too, with all his numbers on it, both home and important work contacts.
