Heh. This reminds me. In 1998, I got a photo radar ticket...clear as day, I had the cell snugged between my ear and shoulder, cigarette in one hand, pen in the other. Haha! Speeding 42/35. It was a great photo. No, I've not had an accident (or incident, practically) since 1979. I've driven on four continents, driven a school bus, semi and 100s of 1000s of accident-free miles. And I very, very rarely talk on the phone when I am driving any more. :)
d, I knew what you meant. The sad thing to see an adult walking with their kid and talking on the cell phone, chatting and yakking and paying no attention to their kid. Yikes.
Heh.

You have had a very interesting life. And thank you for not using the cell while driving any more. I don't either.
ReplyDeleteI remember when you had to either wait til you got home or found a payphone (remember them?) to make a call.
ReplyDeleteIs stuff so important folks can't wait or pull over safely to make a call?
