It's nice to see people care somewhere. I bicycle back and forth to work, and cops will watch people almost run you over, intentional or not, and just go on with their day as if nothing happened.

I don't remember where I saw the link, whether it was here or on another forum, but they've also got a really graphic video with 3 girls in a car, and the one driving kept playing on her phone. Eventually 4 people ended up dead, and they showed the whole thing. The most you get here in the US is a video of people opening their car doors and beer pouring out.

I don't think this is the video you are talking about but its pretty graphic as well. Not actually sure how this video was made but it will definitely remind you to always buckle up.

I think he was talking about this one. This one's a bit more graphic.

Yeah, it was the second one. The best part is that is all happened so she could write "James my mate fancies you"

I noticed for a mile behind me today the teenage girl was texting on her phone the entire time she was driving. I remember the first time I hear about it year ago, and I remember thinking "bullshit, who would be STUPID enough to do that?!" thinking it wouldn't ever happen, but good god was I wrong.

I was almost hit today by some dumb chick pulling out of a space. I saw her car sticking out a bit and I held my honk for a while, and she still came on to my lane next to me. Luckily there was a middle lane (turning lane) and I was able to use that for a second. When I passed her I noticed that she had her cell phone opened in her hand. She was either texting or about to make a call.  :icon_rolleyes:
