Dangerous Driving
White pickup (not very well branded) Telus vehicle #78 in Calgary, Alberta, was distracted driving in a dangerous fashion this morning while going northbound on Blackfoot Trail SE from Southland Drive to Heritage Drive. He was swerving within his lane (middle lane) back and forth while I was behind him despite him going slower than the flow of traffic (wasn't speeding or anything, just swerving), and when I pulled up to next to/past him at a red light at 85th Avenue SE (I changed into the right lane to get where I was going) he was staring down at his lap with a big grin on his face. I presume he was watching someone he found amusing on his cell phone or other device, and completely oblivious to anything going on. I made no attempt to interact with him, but as I drove on past Heritage I saw in my driver's rear view mirror that he almost swerved into another truck while he was attempting to take a left (west bound) on Heritage Drive. This would have been around sometime around 8:30 AM local time.
I'm hoping someone from Telus can speak with this driver about distracted driving not only being illegal, but highly dangerous.

Sorry, to clarify the almost accident was the driver trying to get from the middle lane to the left lane where he would then be able to change lanes into the dedicated turning lane onto Heritage Drive westbound.
