Texting While Driving – There Ought to be a Law!

Published by DaFrog at 9:55 am under Motorcycles,Opinion,Safety,Video

A couple months ago I was run off the road by a big, black SUV. I was fortunately not riding very fast. I was making a right turn when out of nowhere the SUV turned in front of me forcing me to make a decision, become a hood ornament or evade and dump my bike. I choose the latter. The last thing I saw as I jumped the curb and plowed into a ditch was a young girl, behind the wheel of the SUV laughing as she texted a friend. Florida needs to pass a law prohibiting cellphone use while driving.

She did not stop. She did not offer assistance. She never slowed down. The girl drove off merrily on her way.

    This is a very interesting blog that you have here. It’s important that their are blogs out there who hold a very strong opinion towards certain issues.

    I have a site myself where anyone can freely express their opinion towards controversial issues. I’m telling you this because I believe that you can provide others with some valuable insight towards some issues.

    Keep up the good work, and maybe we can do a link exchange.

    Sincerely,
    Jason

    I will drink to that! I have seen kids who are barely old enought to drive cruising merrily along the streets of Humbold chatting on a cell phone. Also walking along with a phone in their ear when they should be watching traffic.
    Some say that cell phones cause brain cancers.
    Keep up the good work Wilma
