I've seen much worse, believe me. A whole family chopped to bits by a guard rail. It's a life changing event. You'll never look at your mortality the same again. I couldn't wish that on anyone.

Then there was the "Dad" I saw driving with his young son in the seat next to him.....all the while holding the phone up and texting away!!! Must have been tremendously important for him to risk his sons life and the lives of others driving around him myself included!!! Karma???? Mine is all good!  |

Sad thing is that even placing a call requires scrolling through contacts, which is also a distraction.I think no matter who is behind the wheel distractions do happen. To hope somebody encounters misfortune,especially one who is young and foolish, is pretty cold.I know you have kids Larry,what would you think if somebody hoped they crashed into a pole,regardless of the reason?
This time think before you respond.

Looks like that car was a ramp for the big rig.

You are not the only one Larry, me too! The smart phone is in the bag while driving. The world can wait until I get to where I'm going plus I'm too busy avoiding all the other f****ing a&&&holes on their phones! |

white hot hate can manifest itself into something on the physical realm is the problem..... Big guy
even tho i agree with your sentiment concerning "distracted driving"
i see the phone up and they're immediately classified as a drunk driver or worse
which gives me the right to pass them regardless of the circumstances such as a no passing zone because i can no longer depend on their driving skills to not involve myself in their collision.

You didn't answer my question Larry,so I would have suggest you read it again instead of filibustering as usual.Obviously your eyes are not always on the road as you claim,otherwise you wouldn't be able to provide all the anecdotes about people and their activities while driving.If your watching them,you are NOT watching the road.Change the radio;eyes are off the road.Reach for a donut;eyes are off the road.At no time in this discusion have I tried to advocate texting while driving as you imply Larry so lets NOT try to read between the lines.But back to the question you ignored.....
This time try to focus only on the question.
Go back and read it slowly and try to comprehend the question.
