1. Damn. All I can say is "why". |
|
I have no idea why the woman was on the cell phone, so I won't try and project what I think she may have been "yakking" about.
My deepest sympathies to the girl's family.
Acknowledgment: I have an 11 year old daughter.
:cry:

2. Would the book be smaller if it was a Prius? |

Talking on the cell while you're driving isn't a good idea. That is the point I was trying to make.

4. The Expedition is not an SUV it is a land schooner |
|
It sucks up Volkswagen's and hot dog carts in it's vortex.

5. People have forgotten that driving is a task. |
|
They take it for granted and yammer on the cell, text, read the paper, stuff their faces... Hey, shitbags, you're piloting a two ton missile. Give the task some respect okay?
Too many folks are just simply shitty drivers, but then they get behind the wheel of a car/suv that's too big, while they pilot it one handed because their cell is just too important to put down, and then oh dear...tragedy.
A car isn't a mobile office/living room, you stupid douchebags. Can you conduct business from your car? Yes, but be fucking reasonable. Can you conduct friend/family business from your car? Probably not, so fucking knock it off. None of your bullshit is worth endangering the lives of others.
HANG UP AND FUCKING DRIVE!
