Cellphone Crash

Since March, I have been involved in two automobile accidents.  Both times, I was the driver of my vehicle, stopped at a red light when rear ended by another vehicle.  Both times the driver was on her cellphone not paying attention to the stopped traffic.

Because of someone else's lack of sense and responsibility, I (and others) have had to pay the price for their stupidity.  As a result, I have been hospitalized twice.  Made to go through a battery of tests.  Endure a great deal of pain.  Had to deal with multiple doctors and physical therapists.  Take medications.  And talk to insurance agents on dozens of occasions on top of it all.

That's just me.  Then there is the car.  Finding a repair shop.  Being without a vehicle while it is getting repaired.  Making sure the repairs were done correctly.  Getting rear ended is a major pain in the a$$.

If you need to be on your cellphone, pull off to the side of the road and use it or get a hands free device in your car.  Stop being so selfish and self centered.  People our suffering (or potentially being killed) because of your poor judgement.  Here is my call:  STAY OFF THE DAMN CELLPHONE WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING!!!!
