Keep your god damned phones in your ****ing pockets while you drive

[pr_capone]

Lost a friend yesterday because some stupid kid was texting and lost control of her car, went across the highway, and caused my friend to put his bike down.

He lost his life because of you Keonna Whiters of Wichita. I know it was not your intention to cause this good man to lose his life... but **** you none the less. I hope the DA charges you with Vehicular Manslaughter at the very least.

RIP Dwight "Slyder" Pierce - B.A.C.A

I'm very sorry for the senseless loss of your friend. Helmet and texting debate aside, the world lost a person for no good reason at all. That sucks.

And what should I do if I don't happen to have one of the selected phones that has been damned by god? Then where should I keep it?

That said, I've worked 27.5hrs the past 2 days covering about 500 miles to do it. There is no way I can get my work done without multitasking and it includes taking phone calls on the road, and sometimes taking a peek at a text or email. I never do it in traffic and wait until I'm stopped to respond other than a call. It's just not feasible to stop every time. If the high-n-mighty who likely do the same thing when not putting scarlet letters on others don't like it, I've got an uncomfortable suggestion.

Today it was very nice out....I had at 2 motorcycles blow past me on rural roads going at least 90. It's harvest season...Construction equipment, combines, wagons.....

Agree about that. But just like anything else, it's unfair to put responsible riders in the group of daredevils who terrorize the roads.

I feel strongly that I can talk on the phone unimpaired. I can't text and drive though. I understand that many people cannot do either and I'm fine with that. Missouri actually has a texting and driving law that makes it legal for adults to text and drive but minors cannot.
