would it make you feel anymore secure if she had been playing with her self…. or chasing down lip stick? Or maybe reaching for that ever elusive Krispy Kreme doughnut that keeps falling away from her grasp?
I can understand that those that do text while driving feel like they are being singled out. Honestly they are. Not without good reason though. For me it is no different from staring at a GPS unit or playing with the radio or whatever. The thing is, it’s your right to do what you wish in your vehicle with your property and I for one will not tell you what to do in your vehicle. However use that same sense of responsibility for when things go to hell and it costs a life and you can no longer check the text. I get on my kids all the time about texts. They aren’t even able to drive. I will ask them why they text so much… if you got that much to say… then call them. Takes less time and is more interactive.
Their response…. “well they text me so I can answer them when ever- in case I am busy”….2 things ….first…HELLO…..voicemail! second….. if it is a convenience for times when you are busy then put the damn thing down and concentrate on what you are doing…. not the other way around.
Now back to the original idea of the post….
I to am glad you are here to tell the tell (whatever in the hell she was doing) and thank you for reminding US and new members to keep your bike in gear … as we almost are were instructed at MSF and leave enough room for escape routes.
