Saw multiple people near campus just holding their phones up in front of their face while in moving traffic. I can see because I’m stuck behind them. Tapping their brakes, stopped at stale green lights, and just otherwise being as much of hazards as possible. The common denominators are 9/10, it’s on campus or there’s an FSU plate or sorority stickers on the back window, or I see the broccoli hair or a blond head bobbling in front of an iPhone.
I can’t even begin to count how many near accidents I’ve been just trying to get around on campus, as a driver, pedestrian, and motorcyclist. I’ve been going here on and off the last seven years, and the drivers have never been more insane.
This is the part of FSU that makes me not even want to be on campus. Rich kids in Bimmers and VWs giving so few fucks about anyone else, they can’t even be bothered to put the damn phone down, even if it puts others at risk.

This is everywhere in Tallahassee unfortunately. If I see someone swerving or braking at weird points I know there’s a 99% chance their face is in their phone. The level people do it here is INSANE to me, it’s not even a quick peek at a red light, it’s literally phone UP in front of your face going 50 down Apalachee.
And I’ve never seen a cop pull someone over for it. Sucks.
