Turning onto 59 from near Minutemaid, I noticed a person in the car in front of me texting while driving, and I noticed a pedestrian crossing the street, while his eyes were glued to his phone screen.Driver texting plus pedestrian texting = pedestrian hit by car.As the pedestrian walked into the street, and as the car entered the intersection, I laid on the horn.  The texting driver slammed on the breaks as the pedestrian stopped in his tracks and looked up from his phone.Accident averted, now Batman can return to his patrol. 4951

Another similar incident took place last week.  I was driving behind a guy on a motorcycle.  He kept standing up on the bike and looking behind him.  He was looking behind him, when I noticed the break lights on the car in front of him.  I hit the horn and pointed.  The biker turned to look and slammed on his breaks just in time to avoid slamming into the stopped car. 4951

@topcat and I were sitting at a red light waiting for it to turn green so she could make the left turn...she wasn't paying attention and when the thru light went to green I yelled "GREEN!" And she started to go even though we still had a red light...that was funny. 4951

@BooBear: Whats even more funny is you probably didn't realize that if she would have gone, you sitting in the pasenger seat would have gotten hit by the oncoming car. OOPS. 4951

I almost got hit by a car in the HEB parking lot yesterday.  I was walking to my car and I noticed a woman texting while in the driver's seat.  As I was behind the car, she decides to back up while still texting.  I had to yell to her to stop or she would have hit me.  That woman needs to stop texting and pay attention around her.  HEB is a very busy parking lot!  4951
