Just another reminder....

God...and I see people doing this all the time.

Folks, when you're driving, you need to be driving. Don't talk on the phone, don't text, only fuck with your radio/iPod when stopped at a red light, and put it down when you start moving again.

Pay attention to the road. More lives than your own depend on it.

 

I use a bluetooth when I drive and it helps. I won't say I've never texted while driving but I stopped after thinking how I would feel if someone killed my family because they were texting and driving. The thought was unbearable so I decided I didn't want to be that guy and I stopped texting while I drive.

 

Whew!!! Scared me for a minute, till I saw it was a Pepsi truck.
No, but seriously, I'm glad no one was killed or seriously hurt.



*edited for grammar*

 

Pathetic how people car more about themselves then the lives of other people, a text can wait 10 minutes

 

how the shit did the compact nudge the big rig?

 

Day cab medium duty tractors do not weigh as much as you might think. Shove a 3,000 pound car into the side of one, and it will be forced over. Then add the added weight of the trailer, and you see the end result.

 

i will admit, i text but its only and ONLY when i am at a red light. even then im watching the light and as soon as it turns, phone is on passenger seat and im driving. its too hard to pay attention to the road AND phone when driving. granted, i talk on the phone when driving but drive the same as i normally do.

 

we're on a 2.5 week road trip now...............for fun, we started counting the vehicles passing us who were talking or texting.............it was about 40%. Today as we were heading south in Virginia, we actually saw a young lady driving a BMW and had her lap-top open on the steering wheel!!!
Some folks need to get a clue. If they want to risk their life, well so be it. But please don't risk me or mine.

 

exactly! i dont hold too well with the fact that they can possibly kill me because of their stupidity

 

I never text while driving, but I do answer my phone. That's going to change. I'm going to get a hands-free headset now. Very sobering video.

 

what about taking camera phone pictures for TW Live?

 

I think I passed that same car today...where abouts in VA were you at the time?

 

My weekly commute to work is a 5.5 hour ride, about 80% on I-10. It is easy to spot the texters, they will be the ones going 50 mph and swerving one minute and 80 the next. Makes me wish for train horns sometimes.

 

I honk at asses on their cell phone.
