It’s great that you had the presence of mind to get out of the way.
I hope you reported the incident to the police though, as she deserves to be prosecuted; and as a warning to the other mobile texters out there.
Shameless plug follows:
I would encourage all readers to join the American Motorcyclist Association (AMA). They may not be perfect, but they are one of a very few organizations who are lobbying on our behalf.
Pressing for tougher sentences for “distracted drivers” who kill motorcyclists is one of their current initiatives.
The AMA also offer free roadside assistance/recovery on all of your vehicles (motorcycles, cars, trucks) with the auto-renewal option.
