NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — A driver in Jamaica, Queens witnessed danger on the road during rush hour on Monday morning.
“This guy is texting while driving a truck. Doesn’t even appear that he has his head up,” the man can be heard saying while in traffic on the northbound Van Wyck Expressway near 91st Avenue in Jamaica.
“He was just looking into his phone as if he was looking at a video or something,” he said.
The video shows the driver staring intently at his cellphone.
The man said he know he shouldn’t have used his own phone while driving to record the incident, but said he couldn’t let the dangerous driver just pass him by.
It’s not like this guy was driving a Honda. He was driving an 18 wheel tractor, 53-foot trailer, even at 30 miles an hour a smaller car is going to get crushed,” he said.

HOW IS THE EVEN NEWS WORTHY??????
Really people? ! Come on everyone is guilty of this even the person recording the video has text and drive. While I’m out on the street I catch all types of people texting or on phone while driving and yes its that bad!!! Acting like kids on this issue!!!
hypocrite, used your cell phone to capture and report another guy for doing the very same thing. Who are you? God?
BFD! I reported a supervisor to her boss for talking on a phone while driving a postal van, and nothing was said to her! That is suppose to be a removable offence but nothing was ever done! God help her if that would have been a carrier.
I guess its OK to video tape while driving but not texting. If this guy was truly concerned he would of pulled over and stopped to video tape this guy, but i guess he just wanted his 5 minutes of bitching. You have no problem showing the drivers face so…..Show us your face coward!!!
So, you’re going to stop and somehow record a vehicle that is moving?
What a moron!
Why do all of you people just seem to blow this off, as though it’s no big deal?
