Dear friends, DONT use a cellphone while driving. Please! I was riding my bike tonite and a driver made an absent-minded left turn and hit me. Driver was too busy yapping on the phone.

Fortunately, the car was going reasonably slow, so only the bicycle was ruined. I got only bumps and bruises. Another 1/2 second and *I* would have been ruined.

Please - DONT USE THE PHONE WHILE DRIVING - ESPECIALLY ON LOCAL ROADS.

It could have been a kid instead of me (I had the sense to jump off the bike before the worst of it happened).

-Mike

Glad you are OK.

I was far more angry than injured. I was REALLY angry - so angry that I threw the bike at the car for nearly killing me. A crowd of ppl stood around yelling at the driver - who wisely stayed in the car until the cops arrived.

glad you ok , did he get sited

Then you are going to blame your pencil for mis-spelled words? The phone did nothing wrong, the driver did. I will continue to speed and talk on my phone thank you very much.

Oh wow!

Glad you're ok, Mike!

I can not stand people that talk on there phones and then make a lousy attempt to stay focus on the damn road. A cell phone is a distraction. And you should be doing NOTHING that even slightly remotes you to take your concentration of the phone.Glad to hear that you are OK.

Glad to here you're alright, sorry to hear about the bike. If I still had mine, I would give it to you.

I am glad to hear you are all right....
I put up with cell phones on the bus....crazy people yelling in Chinese, Vietnamese, et al...really irritating!

How much instant gratification do we need....

one passenger was giving his wife a blow by blow report of the landmarks we were passing...

Sounds like a close call.....Glad you're okay.

i find myself on the phone while driving, and OCCASSIONALLY pretending to be listening cuz i am more focused on the road

At least egt a bluetooth or something!

I see it all the time!!! People running stop signs, merging into traffic.....not even looking because they are glued to their phone

I don't use my phone while I drive. If I get a call I ignore it it's far too dangerous to you and others. I can wait 5 mins before i wreck my car/kill myself/kill someone else just for a damn call.
