when will people stop talking on the phone and driving!!!

I just went shopping with DD . On the way back this huge SUV almost crashed into us. The driver was talking on the phone while driving,she kept coming and "missed: the stop sign, I had to steer away to avoid her . It was so scary. I started honking at her , she slowed down stuck her head out of the window and yelled "SORRY!" and just drove awayChat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon I almost wanted to go after her to get her # and call police(not that I would really go after her with DD in the car or even without her) , but DD was so scared she was screaming . I had to stop the car and get out and comfort her.Chat Icon

This is something else I think should have higher penalties! I don't know what a ticket cost for this but it should be higher!

Sorry you and your little one had a scareChat Icon Chat Icon

I think if you get the license plate # you can just call 911 and say what happened.

omg...i was going to write about this same topic today too!
this girl was talking on her phone (hands free) and she cut someone off...then as i passed her it looked like she was yelling at whoever she was talking too! she was talking w/her hand-throwing it up in the air and obviously not paying attention to the road.....i am not going to say i never talk and drive (i will use speaker phone though)...but i do try to avoid it....what about those people who are texting and driving!Chat Icon Chat Icon

never going to happen. if we can't get drunk drivers off the road, there's no way to get this under control.


I am glad you are ok!
