I know I wrote about adults texting while driving but now I am going to write about: Adults driving while talking on their cell phones.
About 3 days ago I was heading over to Warren to drop off a couple of very heavy skids and just when I was at the part of the highway where there are 5 lanes and very packed with traffic....A man was driving to the right of me and he was weaving in and out of his lane hitting the rumble strips....and YES he was talking on a cell phone. Then the next thing I knew I saw a tire heading towards my windshield, I could not avoid it by changing lanes as for there was another car on the left of me.....so trying to think fast without panicking and getting into a very bad wreck (at 70 mph) I had to hit my brakes so that the tire was then heading under my front wheels instead of coming towards my window and possibly shattering it into a million pieces and maybe cutting me very badly. I ran the tire over, it lifted my whole vehicle up into the air as if I had hit a large animal such as a deer or something. After I hit the tire I don't know what path it took after that, I am hoping it didn't hurt some other driver. The man that started the whole problem never missed a beat with his phone....he didn't hang it up, he didn't look around to see what he hit, and he didn't give a darn if anyone had gotten hurt from the whole scenario.
Please if you plan on talking on the phone while you are driving can you please keep an eye on the road and on the sides of the road....how do you not know you are on the side of the road past the rumble strips hitting a tire and sending it sailing into the air to do some horrible damage.
Again I can say that I am very proud that the children that I see driving while I am traveling everywhere for work are very cautious and keep an eye out for their fellow drivers. Bless them for helping keep other drivers safe by staying off their phones.
We never had cell phones before, we kept our calls to when we returned home or needed a pay phone and we had a lot safer places to drive. Why must the adults set the stage by disobeying the laws, don't they realize that driving with a cell phone can really cause a lot of harm to people maybe even DEATH!!!
I hope their children don't follow in their footsteps.
God bless you all and have a very safe weekend.
