man, i need to get this out! last night i was in the rod and on my way to join the guys at a local cruise. i am on some rural roads and running about 40mph when i notice a new volvo backing out of a driveway several houses ahead of me. the volvo stops when they see me coming they they must have said "fuck it" and decided to go ahead and back out, taking their sweet-ass time and coming to full stop in front of me. i came to a complete stop, sitting there waiting and watching the driver fidgiting around in there and i look into the driver's side rearview mirror and there she is.....some friggin blonde yackin away on the*****in cell, while she's trying to straighten the wheel and shift into gear with one*****in hand! man i was ripped! i yanked on the wheel, tromped on it and dumped the clutch and i grabbed second right next to her driver's door...oh man that is*****in agrivating, i am a firm believer in cell phones and i think they are one of the greatest inventions ever, but NOT while your driving! sorry guys, i had to vent.....this may be a little off topic but i decided that since i was in the rod when it happened...close enough! later, mike
Been there done that....I had a guy yesterday in the rain try and pass a RV on a 2 lane rd during traffic hour..there was about 5 cars behind the RV....he went for it coming head on into ME and my son...I slowed down flashing my lights. he finally pulled behind the RV...As I pulled up beside him telling him what a*****ing dumb******** he was.....He was on a cell phone and all he did was shake his head like he was sorry.....then after I passed him he pulled across traffic into the dirt and pass the RV on the other side of the road in the grass going against on coming traffic kicking dirt up the whole way!!!!! Fuckers..............Im with ya. Oh and it wasnt the cell that was her problem. It was the Blonde hair!!
HANG UP AND DRIVE! If your time is so valuable that even your time traveling from one place to another is costly, why don't you have a*****ing chauffeur. I could go on and on on this subject and it would be peppered with "stupid****holes" and "dumbshits" but that would be a waste of Ryans space. We all know everyones horror stories. If the phone rings, pull over when you hear the phone ring, you can always call them back. There isn't anything that you will be able to do from a car that can't wait 20 seconds until you pull over. Anybody want to argue that point?
Ha Ha Ha...I hate REGULAR phones...won't even TOUCH a cell phone! An ex-girlfriend of mine had a cell in her car all the time. I'd use her car sometimes and she'd call. I'd ignore it and turn up the radio. When I'd get back she'd be pissed... "Didn't you hear the phone ringing?!" "Yeah." "Why didn't you answer it?!" "Cuz I was DRIVING!"
'should be against the law. it's been proven talking on the phone while driving is just as dangerous as eating while driving, or driving while***** faced drunk! Paul
[ QUOTE ] 'should be against the law. [/ QUOTE ] in most places it IS against the law..i think it's funny when the goobers who talk all day on their phones finally have their car break down and they used up all their batteries so you just see them sitting there is that wrong for me to enjoy? Creepy
Only two people know my cell phone number; my wife and my dad, and I don't WANT anybody else invading my privacy, like I'm obligated to be at their beck and call. I never use it when I'm driving and I hate the prats who do. It's actually illegal to use one whilst driving in the UK, but a 'hands off' one is okay, even though it ties up your mind as much as a normal one
the best is when they get stuck in the middle of an intersection in front of you when the light changes. people*****.
Over here it is against the law,people still do it but not as much cos it can be 3 points on ya lisence(12 till you get a ban) and up to an $1800 fine .Not many people have had that fine yet just a few but when they do it's big news here and so it has stopped a lot of people using thier phone whilst driving.Just like to say it makes me mad to.Even more anoying is women on the mobile whilst coming out of walmart with a trolly and trying to text just as they get to the exit Arrrrrrgggghhhh!...........Marq
I play games with people on their cell phones. If I see someone in front of me at a stoplight talking, I'll wait untill there is no traffic and then beep my horn. 9 times out of 10, the******** will go... I drive 20 miles on the highway to work one way. If I see someone yacking more than driving, I will trap them.... I-75 thru Dayton OH has a few places where the fast lane suddenly becomes an exit ramp. When I see them yacking, and I know they want over, I'll speed up or slow down and make them take a wrong turn... It cracks me up, them giving me the finger as they are forced off the highway. (I am a little careful when I do this one, as I don't want to cause someone to get hurt or get shot...) If I am on my Harley and I pull up to a stoplight and the person next to me is yacking away, sometimes I will just sit rev the***** out of the bike. They'll roll their windows up, but I know they still can't hear the phone. When the light turns green, I'll ride right next to their window in low gear until I get bored or turn. Don't look at cell phones as being evil, when they can provide so much entertainment!
Are you sure she wasnt steering with her kneees and trying to put toe nail polish on at the same time?
IDIOTS!!! That is what cell phone junkies are. The worlds next millionaire will be the guy that designs one that they can shove up ther**** an dial by flexing their but cheaks.If you cause a wreck while driving with a cell phone the person you hit should be allowed to duct tape it to your ear and get one wack with a baseball bat to your other ear. Shooting them it to easy.
Laid up from surgery. Surfing the net. I hear, just down the street, an HD pull over and idle...and idle....and idle....so I get up peer out the kitchen window and see.... a want-a-be biker pulled over facing the wrong direction, talking on a cell phone for near 10 min.Phone in the house is only plugged in to use.....then unplugged when done talking.Sorry no incoming call's please.
I carry a cell at all times, mostly because I'm 16 and gotta let my parents know where I am, that and the damn car is too unreliable...I can't tell you how many conversations have started with "dad, somethings wronmg with my car.." Although I am definately with you on the driving and cell phones..I can't stand it. I have nearly been in several accidents because some dumb**** ran a stop, or didnt look before pulling out. Hell, yesterday I was nearly t-boned in a parking lot when some girl talking on her phone came speeding out of one of the isles without looking..JUST GET OFF THE PHONE!
When I was touring all of the time, I had a cell phone laptop computer and 2 way pager. 24 hours a day - I was reachable. That is no way to live... When I retired from touring, the laptop was sold, the cellphone got turned off and the pager went into the garbage. I keep my cell in the car, turned off, in the glovebox. EMERGENCY USE ONLY.
I was on my way home from work thursday with my 33 p-up and i'm coming to a stop in the left turn lane when two***** heads in a full size chevy 4x4 decide they want the same spot i did. He starts to pull into my lane, my right front fender was inches from his door, thats how close this dumb**** was and he didn't even hear me! I locked the brakes and actually turning into the oncoming traffic lane (they had a red light, we had the arrow) He then hears my tires screeching and yanks his wheel back. At first i was just glad he didn't drive over me, but it didn't take long for me to want to tear his**** out of that truck and kick his teath in! And this guy was just talking with the passenger...no phone. We deffinately have to pay close attention to our surroundings, dosn't matter what were driving, but it's a little more important in a hot rod. Not just because it's your hot rod, but because there's not much around you for protection.. Rat...
<font color="red"> how about the****** trying to put on her makeup in the rear view mirror on the freeway at 60? R E D M E A T </font>
Not to be****ist or anything, but they actually did a study about this. Men can have a verbal conversation and do a physical task pretty well (talk about the ball game and wrench on the car, etc.), but don't mentally multi-task very well (keeping track of several things that are going on around you, and scheduling your input time for each). Women mentally multi-task very well (this report needs to be done by***, get notes ready for appointment at***, plaid would be a great color of paint in the dining room...) but they have difficulty having a conversation that requires thought while doing some task that also requires mental input. Again, it's not****ist, just the way we're wired. Now, the next time your wife is cooking dinner, ask her some important question that requires a measured answer. She'll answer, but won't remember much of the conversation in a couple minutes. Man, the light went on in our house! Pissed my wife off until I started laughing every time it happened. The result of the study was that a majority of guys can, in fact, talk on a cell phone and drive (most, not all), and a majority of women shouldn't have the phone in a car. -brad
Oh*****, I'm a CHICK! I can multi-task pretty well, but if someone (like my neighbor) comes over to talk, I always stop working...and I've noticed that women don't see that as odd, but guys are like "Go ahead...don't let me stop you!"!!! Also, I don't like to talk to someone unless I can SEE them...you'll never catch me yelling to someone in the next room, or on the next FLOOR...I gotta go to within visual range to speak! (Why phones serve no purpose to me I guess! )

Here in NY its against the law and I have yet to see those******** cops anywhere in the state pull over someone because they were talking on those plastic****hole machines. I got caught behind this one dippy broad whoa was driving with her knees while talking on the phone and looking at herself in the rear view mirror making sure her hair looked ok.....this all on the highway at 65mph!!!!! You have to love the products that help make ignorant****holes more ignorant Greg
A guy sub out to bought his wife some 5 speed stick rice rocket as a daily driver. A few months after she had it I aske if she liked the car, this is the answer I got. "It is tough to shift while you're on the phone."
