August,

 AA> Oh.. so you take you eyes off the road to look at the incoming
 AA> number displayed on the phone?

  I just glanced at it...if all I saw was a number but no name (not
in my contact list), I ignore it. Now, if it's a number I recognize, 
if I can't get off the road to safely answer the call, I just call 
them back later. It's safely propped up in a holder, so I can see 
an incoming call. My new car (at least to me) has an onboard phone 
(Holy Communications, Batman! <G>), but I don't plan to use it while 
driving. I also do NOT have bluetooth enabled on the phone.

  My previous car was totaled out in a multi-vehicle wreck nearly 2 
months ago. I wasn't at fault, but suffered minor chiropractic 
related injuries. Once I finish treatment (everything was pushed 
back a week, due to 2 back to back winter storms here last week), 
Geico (the insurance company of the guy who was charged in the 
wreck) is supposed to contact me on a settlement. If they don't 
offer a nice amount, I'm going to take them to court. I've spent
well over $400 on taking Uber back and forth.

 DS>   ... I have a bulletin on the BBS with a whole slew of
 DS>   phone numbers that folks should BLOCK in their
 DS>   smartphones.

 AA> They are outdated as quickly as you post them. Scammers can
 AA> acquire new numbers in minutes.

  Well, I've blocked them regardless. I've even blocked entire
area codes.
