Put the phone down!

I don't know about you, but I'm not coordinated enough to drive and talk on the phone at the same time. So I very rarely do it. But I thought it a bit ironic this morning when I got cut off in an intersection on Rainier Avenue by a gal talking on her cellphone as I was coming into the International District in Seattle with this on the back of her Mini...

PUT THE PHONE DOWN AND NOBODY GETS HURT.

I couldn't help but think you could take that a couple of different ways.
Was she talking to me?

Just in case, when the light turned green, I put my phone down.

I'm a hands free guy.... I drive with my knee while looking at MLS directions while taling on my cell.  Well I use too but Debbie had fits each time and I got " the look."  You know the one with daggers so now I plug in my GPS before pulling out for the next home and use a blue tooth for the phone and use my hands for driving.  Her words just yesterday, " Look if you want to die, do it without me in the truck.  Got it?"  I got it alright....

Talking while driving isnt too bad but texting definitely is.  Just don't do it.

Sounds like she should have taken her own advise. I'm glad she didn't hit you while talking on her phone. I thought you had to have a hands free device to talk on the phone in Washington.

Todd: That's what I'm thinking... Yes, Washington driving law is 'hands free'...

Rene' all the states and cities are in financial difficulties, you would think that the police would be more vigilant in enforcing these law, they could make millions all over the country!

Endre: You'd think so! Seems that Washington, when they need a buck, always knows where I am :O)
