Texting and driving.....

Al Cappucino -

OP, i was stuck behind what I thought was a teen on his phone. Too busy looking down when the light turned green, twice I had to honk at him to get him to move. Swerving over the center line (all while surrounded by busses of kids).

Finally pull up next to this ass and its a little Pakistani guy eating a bowl of what I presume was, cereal.

EATING A BOWL OF FUCKING CEREAL.

 

I wanted to run him off the road. .

Signed. Driving the 91 each day I see more than half of these idiots looking down at their phone.

TTT 4 when I'm a redlight....

If I look back and see someone texting/not paying attention, I'll wait for a good 3 seconds or so at green light and speed off leaving them sit there like the dipshit they are.

Get caught texting and driving, permanent loss of license. You would curb that shit real quick.

Should be the same for drinking your coffee, eating, reading a newspaper, finishing work, looking for a napkin. All those things could have the same outcome as texting

My favorite is the skirting of the hands free rule by holding your phone while the speaker phone is on.  How is that any better than holding it up to your head?

I'm that guy.  Composing complete emails while driving 20 mph over the speed limit and passing you self righteous cunts.  Guess what?  I hate you and your slow ass minivan just as much as you hate me.

Ah yes, we're the self righteous ones....makes sense.

You're either a troll or some dipshit who will get a wreck because of this. I hope no one aside from you is injured or killed.

Huh? A thread like this and no one disagreeing yet??? Maybe times have changed! I hate them with a passion too, and have told of my own stories on here.

But, I really do think it's gone down, way down. I've seen very few of late. When I've encountered swerving people, I of course thought they were texting but nope, most were bad drivers, tired or maybe drunk.

POS here. Fully admit I rear ended someone texting. I was the second car at a light. Car in front takes off I looked down for a second he stopped in the middle of the intersection and I bumped him. This guy came out screaming like a lunatic. I apologized and fully admitted my error. Cop came and they guy was still screaming at me. Cop thanked me for being rational and said to find him in court and I didn't need to hire a lawyer that he would take care of me. I like belts and suspenders so I did hire a lawyer. Cop was in court with his kid and they happened to sit next to me I reintroduced myself. Cop remembered what an asshole the other guy was. I got off adjudication withheld, no points and had to pay court costs. sat down for a while with the cop and his kid after and had a nice discussion. This is the way justice should always be. :)

 

Oh the other guys insurance called me because they think he was scamming them. I honestly hit this guy about 5 MPH but 2 females in his car went to the hospital and claimed all kinds of BS. Insurance could tell from the damage that he was trying to fuck them. I have never had another insurance company want me to be their witness over their own client until now.

You're a loser.

Not really. I came out smelling like a rose but fully admit it was dumb what I did. Lesson learned. #maga #winningatlife

 

The other guy was a pompous lawyer. He drove 5 hours as he wasn't from this area to see me take it in the ass. He was really the loser here. He didn't even get to say a wrod to the judge. My lawyer and the cop made a deal with the DA and the judge gladly accepted it. I paid a simple fine of less then $250 with a slight insurance hike (fully deserved) and that was it. You can call me a lot of things but loser isn't correct here.

You text and drive, you're a loser.

Always gotta be 1  cocksucker trying to defend himself.

LOL!  First thing I thought of.

I'm guilty of doing it in the past. It's crazy dangerous. 

 

I do the voice to text feature now. My phone stays mounted on the dash using waze gps app. But even that is not 100% safe. 

 

But you blutooth eltitist can bite me. I'm a hard wire guy. Love my apple issue earphones. Blue tooth is still inferior sometimes.

I'm still in awe at the sheer number of people who don't have a Bluetooth radio or car with Bluetooth. 



I have one but it's sketchy and annoying so I just talk on my phone. It's still legal in my state as far as I know .... 

I'll bet at minimum 60% of the posters in this thread drive after drinking some alcohol. It's the OG so of course they won't admit to it though.

No I don't. I learned a valuable lesson. It was a dumb thing.

I still fucking hate you. But, I fucking hate you a little less now. Ok?

It baffles my mind how many people I see driving HOLDING A CELL PHONE TO THEIR EAR. I had a god damn Bluetooth aftermarket deck in my car in 2007. Ten years later and a shit ton of people still don't have Bluetooth capabilities in their car? Wtf.

Doesn't matter. 

Hands free, having a banal conversation, you're still driving at the same level as someone who is legally drunk. 

(Strayer and Johnson 2007) (Strayer and Watson 2009)

What if your having a conversation with your passenger? 

notsobigmike -

This actually pisses me off more than drunk driving.

 

At least if you're drunk, you have the excuse of being impaired.

 

If you're texting and driving, you're just being a cunt.

 

BTW, not trying to justify drunk driving - just making a point.

lmao. great fucking logic.
