Don’t you just love those ‘have a go, heroes’?

Last night Sheila and I were walking down Michigan avenue and we hear a man at a crosswalk refusing to move from infront of someone’s car until they ended their cellphone conversation.

It is illegal to use a mobile phone while driving within Chicago’s city limits, and this man, who I believe was an off-duty Police Officer anyway judging by his verbal threats of “a ticket”, wasn’t going to let this one person slip by.

It’s possible that before we got there this car almost ran the man over, the car was way past the line they’re meant to be at when the light turns red – and that’s why he had the issue with this driver, but, in any case – what a hero. ;)

Of course in the UK it’s illegal to use a mobile phone while driving – at all.
