You could always phone them in. A lot of states have distracted driving laws and these people are breaking them. Studies show, after all, that using a hand-held cell phone while driving is statistically as dangerous as driving while drunk.
Of course, other studies also show that using hands-free phone systems while driving is statistically as dangerous as using a hand-held phone while driving, so pick your poison.
I've used my car's built in bluetooth speaker phone system all of three times. Also, phoning them in while driving seems like it'd defeat the purpose. The alternative is to try and memorize their license plates before passing and trying to verify... and that's way too much effort I want to spend on these idiots.
