I once turned the stereo over,sent a text,eat a cheese burger whilst staring at an attractive member of the opposite sex.
All this whilst doing 34 in a 30mph zone.
I'm not even sorry

got sent this link, thought I'd share it
Very cleverly done, the Cinema audience were asked to keep their mobiles on.

Succinct, to the point, and if it made only 10% of that audience not to text while driving, then that's potentially 10% more people that will remain alive.

It's not just car drivers...
Today I had to brake and swerve to avoid a cyclist who pulled out of a side road without stopping.
Once he was ahead of me on the main road - which had a painted cycle lane on it - he was swerving and wobbling in front of me.
He had an iPhone balanced on right handlebar in his had which he seemed to be fiddling with.
As I finally managed to overtake him - giving him a very wide berth - my husband called out his open passenger window "Put your stupid phone away!" to which the reply was unprintable!
The bloke was as unstable and wobbly on his bike as a 5 year old who had just taken off his stablisers!

At least he wasn't coming at you going the wrong way down a one way street which is what one of my pupils had to deal with the other day...

Get used to it Imurg, if Boris gets his way they will be exempt from every one-way street! Not that they seem to think that any rule in the Highway Code applies to them.

Don't tar all bicycle riders with the same brush. There are two types........cyclists.......and bike owners.
Cyclists are responsible, follow the highway code and ride safely.
Bike owners on the other hand.....................

I totally agree with this, however, there are also motorists and car owners!
Unfortunately, he same rules pretty much apply.

Not to do with texting but a couple of days ago was driving at 20mph through a flashing 20mph school lunch time period.
I was aware of a large 4x4 close behind me.
He/She overtook me on the wrong side of a keep left exactly opposite the school entrance.
Two empty child seats in the back of the car.

I would like to think that the majority of mothers are careful drivers, but there are a significant number who not only shouldn't be allowed to drive their children to school,, but also really shouldn't have been allowed to have children in the first place

So a simple, quite serious shunt with possibly tragic circumstances but nothing to do with using a mobile... or possibly... but maybe not? And this proves what exactly? That driving is dangerous. Well I never.
That is child neglect on a grandiose scale. How can you "forget" to take a child to a nursery. Hope they throw the book at them.

All those who think they can multi-task need to realise that the brain prioritises tasks so you are only thinking consciously about one thing at any given moment in time.
If you're texting while driving you ain't thinking about your driving even though you may 'think' you're doing both the fact is that you aren't.
At 60 mph you cover 88 feet in 1 second, the average road carriageway is somewhere around 12-15 feet e.g. a distance covered in less than 0.2 of a second; half of which is reaction time IF you are concentrating on the road.
