Is why I take the back roads anytime I go places. Went to my son's place to visit, about a two hour drive. Plenty of highways, expressways, and interstates to take, but I can't stand traffic anymore, and stupid people.

Takes a bit longer but it is so more of an enjoyable ride. I'm at a point now I don't need to get from point A to point B in the quickest time, so my ride is about 1/3 highway, 2/3 back roads.

Some pics taken during different segments of the trip back home.
No traffic.

Good roads are hard to find here now days. Just too many people in the area and everyone in a dang hurry.

Great pics Norm. I love that detached garage.

When I got my first Corvette a friend of mine that always has high end cars told me....

Very easy, both hands on the wheel while holding phone, tap the camera icon on screen, similar to hitting any other button on the car like on the infotainment screen, where you have to take your eyes off the road. Not in this case, eyes are on the road. And of course, only when no traffic.

Nah, not the same, one click, in the same line of sight as the road....with an extra camera view. And not taking my eyes off the road.

You could be playing Angry Birds while driving, and argue that it's not texting. True, but you're also not giving your full and undivided attention to the road.

I'm sure the officer who pulls you over for illegally using your handheld device while driving won't care that you're taking pictures and not texting.

Then again, I don't know if driver use of handheld devices while driving is legal in your state.

But if it is, you're an old fart, so that law doesn't apply to you. Just like most drunk driving laws don't apply to old drunk farts leaving the VFW.

I need a good dash/windshield mount for my Android phone so I can say, "Cheese," and it will automatically take a photo.

I think the iPhone will do the same thing but you have to say, "Slurp," or, "Smug," or something like that.
