Unsafe at any Speed

A dude hit a woman and didn't notice because he was busy texting:


A Bainbridge Township man police say was responding to a text message when the car he was operating struck a Kenston school teacher who was out walking her dog has been indicted.

Cell phone manufacturers and carriers are going to get blasted with lawsuits one of these days and some lawyer is going to make a few million on some family's tragedy.

It's hard to believe the manufacturers get away with making a device that is practically designed to distract drivers; it's inherently defective.

As you ride, try and count the number of drivers that are using a cell phone for talking or texting. My casual observation seems to have it at about 40%. I am surprised insurance companies haven't stopped paying out when a phone was in use.
