Really!? parking & texting
« on: August 04, 2019, 05:35:24 PM »
Taking some sunnny street photos.


That's her, back there at the stop sign.


Here she comes, slowly pulling in behind me.
Over-ran her parking slot and bumped my scooter while looking at her cell.


Scooter didn't fall (slid it off the side stand but I grabbed the right grip) crash bar took the nudge, insurance man said not to post my photos of her license plate. I reported it and emailed photos, but no damage done. Not claiming.

I took a couple pix of it all - to scare her if nothing else. "Park the stupid cell phone!"

And, I'm feeling a little peculiar.

This is one of "those things" that make my blood boil! The driver has ONE THING to do. When that ONE THING is done and the machine is tied down (plane), tied up (ship), parked (land vehicle) and its engine(s) shut down, THEN play with phone, him/her/it, self, toys, etc. AND NOT BEFORE!
