I work for AT&T. Not speaking for them. I am the guy you see on the side of the road,blocking lanes of traffic, going in manholes, up poles.....
I see 9 out of 10 people using devices while driving. We've had people run thru our work zone/cones, hit our vehicles etc...
We are not immune. A couple years ago in Charleston, SC one of our employees hit a man on a bike and killed him. I believe it was determined that the employee was texting on his personal phone.
I believe he lost his job and is facing jail time.
I was personally missed by inches a few years ago. Lady in a van talking on phone almost hit me. I was wearing orange reflective vest, orange cones out, my truck safety flashers were on and a man working sign out.
It was very scary, she came back to apologize. She had car seats in the van. I informed her she nearly killed MY babies father. She almost cried. I was very stern with her, but thanked her for coming back.
Also, apply makeup in the bathroom and don't read books going down the road either. Yes I see that too.
