Or worse yet, soccer moms driving the HUGE suv's, texting, eating, and yelling at the kids in the back (as they watch movies on screens mounted on the back of the front seats) as they speed down the road!!!!

Very scary combo!

Because you are drunk, or you really do have hiccups? If the latter, I can tell you how to get rid of it in 30 seconds flat!

A few days ago I came within centimeters of being rear-ended by a young woman who was so busy texting behind the wheel that she didn't bother to look up and see that traffic had stopped in front of her. Of course, I was just in front of her and I could see in my rear-view mirror that she was not paying attention to the traffic situation. In order to get her attention I hit my horn (to the temporary annoyance of the person in front of me--at least until he could see what was going on. Thank goodness she looked up right away and stood her car on its nose to stop--rarely have I seen such a look of abject terror in a person's face. Ironically, as I passed her later on, there she was, texting as she drove again! Geez!

Some people never learn, Rob . Like I said the people who need the law won't pay any attention to it anyway.

And now she's hired an attorney and thinking of suing the mall because no one came to her aid when she fell!  Duh, hello?  If you hadn't been texting and not paying attention, you would not have fallen!  Geez!

What a nerve! She made a decision to text while walking and now thinks she has the right to sue someone for her idiocy? She is clearly not too concerned with people knowing it was her in that video because she's broadcasting her face all over the place now!
