Lost an ex father-n-law pretty much the same way, only it was fog and way before cell phones... I take every chance I get to scream at anyone I find texting behind the wheel...
I saw one of those happen many years back no cell phones then. See people all the time now all over the road with that cell phone glued to their ear---scary as hell!
I'm sorry, but I have zero patience with texters. For a personal reason: the cabbie that rear-ended me -- an illegal immigrant under deportation orders for over 20 years -- was using his cell phone at the time. He might have been texting.
Put it here ... I can't wait to read it. I have the Captcha turned OFF but blogger insists it be there. You should be able to bypass it.

ReplyDeleteA sober message. Thank you, Odie. Getting the word out may save a life.
ReplyDeleteRon, I see them all the time too.
ReplyDeleteRandy, $29.95
ReplyDeleteAOW, yup poor Vet.
ReplyDeleteAOW, there ought to be a law, or in this case a bus.
ReplyDeleteOpie, they're not smart enough to be here in the first place.
ReplyDeleteThere is no back seat in a Corvette, just a little storage area. Right?
ReplyDeleteI guess the point is his head was no longer in communication with his body.
We see people texting all the time. All the time. Scary.
ReplyDeleteHave a terrific day. :)
Dick, I just relay this stuff.
ReplyDeleteSandee, I do too.
ReplyDeleteSupposedly, we're going to start seeing cars with a field built into them so you can't phone out.
ReplyDeleteConsidering how many near-disasters I've seen because somebody was paying more attention to their phone than driving, I have to say I'm all for it.
PS Saw a car like that bent at a 45 degree angle with the apex in the driver's seat.
PPS Had a phone I kept in the car only to let the wife know I might have a problem getting home. Used when stopped when traffic was slow.
Truth in advertising.
Yowsers!!!
ReplyDeleteCheck this out for a close call that ended better.
Edutcher, I have onstar phones built into both of our cars. It's a hands free system and still can be distracting.
ReplyDeleteBrooke, are you OK?
ReplyDeleteLOL! It wasn't me this time!
ReplyDeleteBrooke, just checking.
ReplyDeleteDarwin at work?
ReplyDeleteAdmiral, isn't that an award?
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean.
ReplyDeleteYou still have to engage the brain.
Well, most of us do.
Edutcher ... brains?
