Thread Name: BS: Drivers using mobile phones
Subject: RE: BS: Drivers using mobile phones
A client of one of my old employers ran her SUV into the back end of a stopped (stopped in traffic) eighteen-wheeler while she was on the cell phone and killed one of her seven-year-old twin daughters. Not that she couldn't have been distracted by something else, but I'll bet she never talks on the phone while driving again. I don't know how I would live with that.

My mother's fantasy is that whenever she sees someone talking, applying makeup, etc. while driving, or just driving like a jackass, she could teleport them back to their own driveway. Nobody would get hurt and the more asinine they were, the longer it would take them to get anywhere.
