Make-up kills, too. And a few years ago here in Orange County, some dingbat took out herself and another driver in a head-on. She died with one eye made up, the other not yet made up, her eyebrow pencil in hand. And her survivors had the gall to whine when she was vilified in the local paper!
But a well-tuned machine, on an open road, no distractions .... ahhhhhhh!! Darla Sacred cows make great hamburgers. Picture Trail Gallery:
Darla had some very interesting things to say about Re: OT: Speeding in a car was Re: Amusing anger management stitching:
What kills is not the phone or the make-up, but the user's *choice* to misuse same.
DH and I recently acquired cell phones (pre-paid type), and have a firm agreement that neither phone will be answered by its owner if said owner is driving at the time. We both have voice mail (well, when TracFone gets mine working straight), so callers can leave messages to be dealt with when the recipient isn't driving. Karen has also explained to both of us that if she ever catches either of us phoning and driving at the same time, the offender is going to be in serious hurt. :-)
I believe the exact phrase was "if the accident doesn't kill you, I will." :)
When my boss called me from a moving car, under the same threat, the first words out of his mouth were "Scott's driving".
