AWESOME! Thanks for the laughs, I needed it. Last night a 15 year-old teenybopper in a bikini rode right through a red light on her bicycle WHILE TALKING ON HER CELLPHONE and crashed into the side of my car as I went through the intersection on a green light. No identification, no apology, I called the police then her father showed up, he didn't even speak to her, chatted with the cops for a minute, no apology from him either then he gave me his phone number to call so he could pay for it. Got the estimate today, $600+, called his phone, NUMBER WAS NO GOOD!! This is gonna be a hassle, right? His info is on the police report so he's gotta be a total bonehead. At least he's raising his 4 daughters to be responsible citizens

I can beat that, I saw a guy on a big bad-ass Harley (patched member of some "motorcycle enthusiast" group or other, wink wink) talking on his cell, in heavy traffic the other day. I was praying for some Darwinian god to smite him right before my eyes. Two birds with one stone, if you get my meaning. No offense, WILDPIG.

Not to stir the pot (maybe a little), but I often times look at "Blue tooth talking, GPS reading and music listening" Adv and Touring types in much the same light regardless how exempt from distractions while riding they think they may be.
Safe travels.
