My vent on Cell Phones
I didn't have to watch the video to share the frustration of my forum brothers. Here's my vent.
Last week on the freeway, in the car next to me is the driver (gal) texting @ 80 mph and the guy riding shotgun is smoking a bowl. Maybe that is safer than the other way around? I got the F away from them as fast as I could.
Another time, I'm turning onto the highway entrance ramp (2 lanes) and the lane next to me is a gal texting and turning uphill onto the ramp. I blasted my horn and just about made her pee her pants. She almost even dropped her phone....It was great.
On a positive note, even with my bad neck, I am suddenly able to rotate my head 180 degrees (almost exorcist style) and give the wagging finger (not the bird finger) to the idiot behind me who is texting....and then I disappear.
There's 2 thing I notice riding now - (since I last rode in the early 80's) - highway speeds and cars drive much faster and everyone in a car is on the GD phone.
Makes me want to:
1) move to a small town
2) get my Concealed Weapons Permit
3) become a LEO
If I ever get into an accident of any kind, I am subpoenaing the other drivers phone records just in case.
