It's not uncommon to see folks eating, texting, putting on makeup, and engaging in other activities when driving at or over the speed limit. If you're over a certain age, you'll recall when Idaho and other states started putting up digital road signs. The displays are used to pass along important information, such as Amber Alerts or if there is a traffic delay.
