SERIOUS - Texting drivers

[Lord Derosso]

Text me while you're riding home from the pub. We'll catch up and discuss.

I have never owned a cellphone. I don't want my brains fried or cancer in the ear or whatever. Heck booze is a much more fun way to do it. And I only live 1 minute away from the centre of Newtown and the supermarlet so I have it made.

Saw a lady in a car trying to drink a huge portable cup of coffee in one hand while trying to drive in the mad house traffic this morning due to an accident around from the Basin Reverse.

What about nose pickers taking a cursory glance at their payload while driving? Then while they roll the catch before the flick (or feast), they've only got one hand on the steering wheel. Surely nose picking should be made illegal too.

What about us arse scratchers then? I mean - every now and then you get a good DEEEP scratch and sniffing the fingers is a must mate.

You trying to rule us out too?

As for using my calculator while landing a plane - are you mad??? Have you seen my flying? Last time I tried I ended up in some fucken carparks and took out a bunch of teens.

Cost me hundreds to get the blood off the plane

[Squeak the Rat]

Surely you cannot be serious.

While driving? That'd require the airbag to be replaced with an airliner style fold down writing desk and suitable damping device to ensure legible characters were written while crashing through potholes.

I once spotted my fiance driving her MX5 in traffic, talkin on the phone, sipping a coffee, shifting gears and rolling a ciggarette like it was the natural thing to do

I once rode past a car and saw a woman flicking the bean while driving in traffic..... Now THAT was dangerous, I almost rear ended the car in front of me....

I certainly hope you kept her. My dirty mind boggles with the uses for such a multi tasker.

I'll see that and raise you double ended dong .........

Saw her on SH2 just before Ngatea it was either double ended or in backwards, almost caused me to crash .......... lol

It's also not unusual to see guys get blowen while driving either ..... talk about being in a happy place while crashing

Even speaking on a cell phone isn't a good look. They're often easy to spot... travelling at 40km/h, hugging the centre line. I've noticed that as often as not it's a business man. Lean your bar end on their door at the lights whilst you look at them.

Damn right So far, as a pillion she's only at the hold on with one hand & slap me around the helmet with the other hand stage...

[Clivoris]

Sure did, we should have blocked her car in and given her a lesson in manners. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes I wouldn't have believed just how stupid a driver could be.

Did anyone tell that crazy biarch off?

I thought about going postal but decided that it would reduce the mana of what we were doing at the time. Who knows how she might have reacted in that much traffic too? It just wasn't worth it and I'm working on developing a sense of superiority whenever I don't let Mr Angry take control. I did memorise her plate details and was going to make a complaint but I figure that anyone that ignorant will be struggling with enough in her life as it is. Again, probably not worth it.

Texting while driving = crashing = getting rid of dumb gene

[What?]

Texting while driving = crashing = getting rid of dumb gene

Unfortunately, not always the case.
A few months back a milk tanker driver died after some female drove head-on into him whilst texting. Said female lived to text another day.

Anyone see the news last night about the 62 year-old "medical professional" reading her new book while driving out of Chch? $400 fine for careless use. Reckoned it was such a good book she just couldn't put it down...!
