| Re: bah understood, i was under the impression you witnessed all of those situations, i used to drive over 200 miles a day as a courier so i know what driving with a cellphone can do, but there are people who know how to get around the common mistakes, even with a headset or handsfree device, its human nature to speed up while you are talking and slow down while listening, when you get mad on the phone or with someone else in the car, again, its human nature to go faster as the endorphins start spreading through your system and your heart rate increases..
cell phone usage in the car wont stop, i make a point to use a bluetooth headset, when I'm on the freeway I keep an active look at how fast i am going and don't piss off the people behind me.
no need to throw insults, I came across as rude, emoticons would have helped (i was saying who the hell are you as a joke) | |

I did not post the stories from the truck drivers because 1. I do not remember them well enough, and 2. I did not witness them.
As far as insults, you called me a liar saying I was making up stories and implied I was lazy with too much time on my hands and that to me is not a joke, emoticons would not really mitigate that sentence either. So certain things about a person who makes a snap judgment like that, mostly not publishable and in this case related to companies who make a living selling cell phone equipment and services and can not take any criticism of their product, are made. If you meant it as a joke and are apologizing, then I accept it, but you do need to realize that contrary to what the media and Hollywood seem to be pushing, some people mean what they say and expect the same in response.
