SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Mary Ann Lahann was inching past the Bay Bridge toll plaza when ... wham! Rear-ended by a driver with her head down, texting away.
It's no surprise to the 51-year-old engineer from Carmichael that cell phone use and texting now rank as the biggest safety worry on our roads, according to a survey released Thursday by the state Office of Traffic Safety. Motorists consider phone use more dangerous than speeders, tailgaters or drunken drivers.
