    AA> Oh.. so you take you eyes off the road to look at the incoming   
    AA> number displayed on the phone?   
      
     I just glanced at it...if all I saw was a number but no name (not   
   in my contact list), I ignore it. Now, if it's a number I recognize,    
   if I can't get off the road to safely answer the call, I just call    
   them back later. It's safely propped up in a holder, so I can see    
   an incoming call. My new car (at least to me) has an onboard phone    
   (Holy Communications, Batman! ), but I don't plan to use it while    
   driving. I also do NOT have bluetooth enabled on the phone.   
      
     My previous car was totaled out in a multi-vehicle wreck nearly 2    
   months ago. I wasn't at fault, but suffered minor chiropractic    
   related injuries. Once I finish treatment (everything was pushed    
   back a week, due to 2 back to back winter storms here last week),    
   Geico (the insurance company of the guy who was charged in the    
   wreck) is supposed to contact me on a settlement. If they don't    
   offer a nice amount, I'm going to take them to court. I've spent   
   well over $400 on taking Uber back and forth.   
      
    DS>   ... I have a bulletin on the BBS with a whole slew of   
    DS>   phone numbers that folks should BLOCK in their   
    DS>   smartphones.   
      
    AA> They are outdated as quickly as you post them. Scammers can   
    AA> acquire new numbers in minutes.   
      
     Well, I've blocked them regardless. I've even blocked entire   
   area codes.

   ... I'm not a moderator. I just have the face of one.
