>> very sad indeed.I noticed today while driving home there were several young people with their feet up on the dashboard! Â That scares me more than people not wearing seatbelts!!! Â If only they knew what happens when that airbag comes out ! Â Dont put your feet up there!Also I am noticing more and more people are totally distracted while driving. Â Either makeup being applied, talking on the phone, fumbling around looking for God only knows, texting and driving or just chitchatting away with a passenger and not paying attention at all to what they are doing. Â Â People are also way too much in a hurry!! Â God bless life passes by fast enough as it is, why do you have to zip in and out of traffic just to get to the next redlight?? Â You really gotta get stopped there first???
@angiekaye:
Don't ya think your watching them while you are driving is a form of distracted driving too.
@Stealth83: uh no I call it being very observant to avoid an accident with them. Â I slow way down or change lanes. Â Keeping an eye on your surroundings is called a safe driver.
@angiekaye: And I bet someone watching you in their car is thinking you are just being nosy and not keeping your eyes on the road as you should be. Not debating it with you but just pointing out the hypocrisy that you can do things to take your eyes off the road and you feel they are ok, but you judge how others are doing itÂ
@Stealth83:
I understand that you often like to introduce a new perspective, but this one seems pretty illogical. Keeping your eyes on the road doesn't just mean watching pavement, lines and lights. Driving defensively means being observant of other cars on the road way. They don't operate themselves so if you want to predict their next move, sometimes you need to observe the behavior of the driver. That takes a second glancing in each direction. That is very different from texting or other distractions that have nothing to do with driving. 4951
