Texting and Driving

You just don't want it bad enough. Fewer excuses and more doin'.

I've seen a cop do it! I wanted to give him a piece of my mind for being so reckless with my tax dollars, but decided it best not to end up on an episode of cops or a police brutality youtube video.

I annoyed a driving texter by holding my hand on the horn, and not letting go.

I have been known to creep up on them and get a bit close. Then I blow the horn. Pi$$eS them off pretty good

Not to diminish your story, but that's nothing compared to what I saw a while back... coming south out of Bloomington down walnut and down 37 south a "Service Pro" van crossed the centerline and fog-line many many times, speeding up, slowing down, generally driving erratically. I just kept a safe distance and followed. I gave him the benefit of the doubt the first couple times he crossed the line but it was very apparent something was going on; my thought was an impaired driver. So I called Lawrence Cnty SD when were were about 4 miles north of Lawrence county line so they knew this guy was coming.

"Sir, we are very busy at the moment and I don't think we can get an officer to respond at the present time"

Ok, I understand... there are only so many officers on-duty...

So I followed this person back to their place of business. It's an early 20ish guy, he gets out, throws something in the dumpster then reaches into his pocket pulls out his phone and fires off a text... that's when it hit me that I just witnessed the world's worst texting while driving moron in action... I can't judge too much for texting and driving because I've snuck a peek at the phone while driving before but if you can't do it safely, DON'T DO IT...

Most of the car accident patients I see are sitting still when someone rams them from behind. I wonder how many phones are involved in these situations.

I do. Was it your knee? I bet it was his knee.

You're not fooling me. It's your ears...rabbits have notoriously short...ahhh tails...yeah that's it tails.

People do all sorts of things driving that distract them...texting, eating, reading, watching tv, messing with the radio, reaching for objects, swatting kids, breathing.

A little long but quite sobering and enlightening. I was o.k. until the dog. . . .
