cell phones..killing the productivity

[Crown@club]

I love watching people drive down the road in a 50 mph zone talking on the phone. One minute driving about 47 mph. next minute 65mph. next minute 55mph, then70mph. Get in the left lane and try to pass you after the stop light, just to turn right. All while talking on the phone, and telling the person, I'm the bad guy.

If true totals were known, more accidents are caused by cell phones probably than any other distraction, or vehicular movement on the part of the driver.

A lady here, a few days ago, hit a child running across the street to her home. The lady was charged as the child had just stepped off of her school bus, the bus was still stopped, of course; and the lights were blinking and the stop--sign was out. The lady failed to even slow down approaching the bus, much less stop.

She apologized at the site of the accident, "I was on my cell." This is difficult for parents to hear, I'm sure.

And its always good when the cell user drifts into the left lane, when your passing them on the interstate. That's difficult too.

Restaurants can be a big spot, especially at lunchtime, for the cell phone chats, as well.
