Ridiculous!!!

I'm sorry but I must rant... I'm driving NB I-75 to EB I-595 in Fort Lauderdale, and the traffic is getting "bunged" up to the point of being dangerous. You know, everyone hummimg along at 70 mph and the brake lights hit and bring everyone down to under 55 mph. I'm thinking it's a cop, construction, or an accident. I slow and move into the passing lane to get around the obstruction. After about one mile, I see the problem. NO cop, NO construction, NO accident. It is a very petite female, probably about 5'2'' and 105 lbs. She is moving at about 45 mph in a Ford Excursion while talking on her phone!!! She is totally oblivious to the fact that she has created a dangerous and frustrating experience for many people. WTF?! Why in the hell do people drive vehicles that they cannot handle. No, I am not a sexist. My wife drives a SUV, a 2002 G500. But, the difference is she knows what the hell she is doing and can handle her vehicle. She also has a hands-free set-up in her vehicle for her cell phone. I wanted to pull in front of her and slow her down until we stopped, so I could ask her why she would buy such a vehicle for herself. I am not saying that women should not drive big trucks, but it was clear that she was not capable. Anyone else witnessed such a ridiculous event??
