The Law

An archaic morality law dictates that loud and profane language on public roads is a misdemeanor, originally intended to protect the delicate ears of passing carriage riders. While almost never enforced due to the First Amendment, getting road rage could technically be a double offense. Best to keep your windows rolled up if you drop your phone.
