Ditto on the cell phone, and also ditto on crossing the center line.
Skeeter, the reason people dive across the lane line isn't that they are too lazy to turn the wheel, it's because they turn it too soon.
Imagine you're on a straight section of road. There's a curve ahead. If you turn the wheel a quarter mile before you get to the curve, you'll cut across the painted line (in one direction or the other). That's an exaggeration of distance, but it's what those lane-divers are doing: turning too soon. If they'd turn when the road does - but no sooner - they'd stay right in the center of their lane.
I also shake my head at those idiots who drive as if they were the only car on the road. Come storming around a blind corner, drive diagonally across parking lots (staring straight ahead), turn or change lanes without signalling or even looking - then they look up with big eyes when they hear the squeal of tires, absolutely astonished that there might actually be another vehicle in the universe. Sheesh.
