Graham Smith Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Walking down a busy street just now, I came up behind a woman walking and talking on her cell phone. I could either holler at her to move or go around. I went around on the curb side but had to avoid a street lamp. Just as I got past that, she turned my way and almost ran into me. If she had, I would have likely been knocked off balance into the street right into the path of an oncoming delivery truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyZip Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 About five years ago, a general contractor in Indian Wells, CA ,on his cell phone, walked right into the path of a fully loaded concrete truck backing on his job. He was caught squarely under the two axles on the passenger side of the truck. They say he was pretty much squashed flat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too_Slow Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 (edited) Yes just in the last week I have seen not one but two different young girls riding their bikes down the sidewalk while talking on cell phones and having trouble going straight at the same time. This does not bode well for the future. Brian Edited June 23, 2011 by Too_Slow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Keen Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 A persons awareness level (or lack thereof) doesn't change whether they are shooting a gun, talking on the phone, or driving a car ....... Watch out for the terminally stupid people in life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitedog Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 True.......but a dim bulb does not need a lamp shade. Stupid is one thing, distracted and stupid can be dangerous to others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Ankeny Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Speaking of texting, the most current stats I have seen from the Alive at 25 driver education folks indicates 30 young drivers die in crashes every day. Of those 30 fatalities, 13 are from texting. The number goes up when you add in the folks they take to the grave with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
