Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Driving / July 2005Generation Xa
Observed from my shuttle bus window yesterday morning: A white Scion Xa, with a young 20something female behind the wheel, pulls up next to the bus. This chick is hip - she has a Blackberry perched on the center of her sterring wheel; her right thumb is busily hunting-and-pecking out a vitally important text message while she drives at 40 MPH on a 50 MPH road. People die every day because they took their eyes off the road just long enough to dial a 7 digit phone number; imagine what can happen when you're typing entire conversations?!?! Here's hoping she buys it before she manages to reproduce... > Observed from my shuttle bus window yesterday morning: > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > hunting-and-pecking out a vitally important text message while she > drives at 40 MPH on a 50 MPH road. You just don't get it, slower is the same as safer, that is what she was taught, and it is reinforced constantly. So she must be safe if she is driving ten under, even if she is multi-tasking while driving. > > Observed from my shuttle bus window yesterday morning: > > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > was taught, and it is reinforced constantly.
