RIP .. sorry dude ....

Texting while driving should be illegal. But talking on the phone? I mean, seriously, if I can smoke while driving or drink a pop while driving, why can't I talk while driving? It's not something I like to do, and I keep the conversations short, but it's not like I take my eyes off the road to look at my iPhone while I'm talking on it. Not my fault that there are people out there who shouldn't be allowed to walk and talk on a phone that have licenses. And I can guarantee you that a pleasant conversation with somebody on the phone is far less distracting than an unpleasant one with the wife if she's pissing me off.

As for motorcycles, it's been said several times here, anytime somebody rides one he's putting his life at risk, especially riding without a ****ing helmet, and bears a certain amount of responsibility for anything that happens on that basis alone. Best rider in the world can't account for some moron suddenly crossing a lane into him, and there is just no protection.

If this guy had been in a car, he'd be sore and talking to a claims adjuster. That's just the way it is.

I was driving to Amarillo one time and this chick passed me going 80+ steering her car with her knees while putting on makeup. We pulled up beside her and took photos while driving right next and she didn't even notice. we thought we'd have evidence for the inevitable .

That will just cause anyone driving around you to look down at their phones and make your chances of an accident that much higher.

This is true. Yes, he is dead because of the actions initiated by others. But his decision to not wear a helmet might of changed the outcome of the idiot girls decision.

Sorry to hear about your loss. It's a damn shame to lose your life to the recklessness and irresponsibility of someone else's actions. There is nothing that should be that important that you must text while driving. If it's so important, then call the person. Or better yet, pull the ***** over to the nearest parking lot.

Keonna Whitters is a fucking murderer. That's all there is to it.

On my way home I am following a car that keep tailgating the person in front, then nearly slamming on the breaks. Wash rinse repeat several times. Finally get to the intersection where I pull up next to her and the bitch is busy texting while driving.

Kicker?

She has Kansas Firefighter tags on her vehicle.

If you know anyone with a KS FF tag on a grey Kia Soul in Wichita. Beat the shit out of her cuz she sure as hell did not hear me honk or yell.

I text and drive all the time. Something I really need to stop, I know.......................................... I am a really good multitasker though.

Sorry about your friend..

I have to disagree. The guy that T boned my van causing it to roll was simply talking on his phone. Not text, just talking. He was too distracted to see the stop sign and he put me and two of my children at risk because if his stupidity.

It sucks that some irresponsible idiot ran into your vehicle, but what does that have to do with me? He could have just as easily been distracted by a passenger, or another vehicle, or a jogger with a nice rack. Shit happens.

Wait a damn minute. Nice Racks and said viewership is a constitutional requirement or something. Rack n Butts get a pass.

I've been wanting a motorcycle for a long time and this thread is giving me second thoughts.

Really sorry about your friend pr.

This x 1000
Some people get all dramatic talking on their phone which is a big difference from "Get some milk and eggs on the way home"
And no I never talk or text on my phone while driving.

I rode to work this morning. I'll ride to work again tomorrow. You have to enjoy your life.... just have to keep your head on a swivel.
