phone driver 2
another day i was skating to the gym. there's one section at an intersection where there is no sidewalk. but there are geese. in city limits. go figure. i have to cross the street. there's a right turn lane. usually nothing's coming. but today this jeep faded in. so i stayed on the white line near the traffic light separating the right turn lane from the rest of the traffic so he could go by without waiting for me and i didn't have to skate on gravel. i'm still slowly moving down the street towards him when he turns on his left turn turn signal. yikes! he wants to be where i am. i'm clearly in his way. so i dive across the street and into the gravel filled gutter. he didn't change lanes. huh. he's got one hand holding his phone against his head and the other hand's gesturing at me. sheehs people. think. before you kill someone. set the damn phone down and drive. they'll understand. or pull over if it's an emergency so you can concentrate on saving the life of the person on the other end without risking mine. thanks.
