Texting while driving

[PILOON]

Or the non-cc users who slow down for every corner. Followed one for almost 60 miles lasst week, slowing down from 65 by 5mph on corners that my 90 yoa grannie coul have taken at 80.

With you on that one, they drive like they are on ice surface.
Sure does not instill confidence.

'nother that irks me is the type that never slows and comes to a very abrupt stop at intersections usually with 1/3 over the line, so much so you believe they did not intend to actually stop until they spot you. (often on the phone)

Shadowing as in driving beside us or getting between us in a convoy.

Gotcha.

I don't use cruise control. I like to speed up and slow down at random to irritate those on autopilot

I just got a car with adaptive CC. it's pretty nice. You can set the number of car lengths you want to keep between you and car in front. It will come to a complete stop if needed. It will then accelerate back to speed when car it front is out of way or back to speed. The steering wheel will also vibrate when activated if you move out of Kane without signaling. Takes a little getting used too, but works great and I can use all the help I ca get sometimes.

You need help not running into the car in front of you and/or staying in your lane???

I'd be afraid I'd fall asleep with little left to do but turn the wheel.

I think i rode in one of those once. No no, I remember, it was a train.

To stay awake, read a book or magazine, shave, put on make up, eat a bowl of cereal WITH milk, talk on the phone using your hand to hold said phone, text, or now a days, play Pokemon....

:laughing::laughing::laughing:

Seen all of the above with the possible exception of Pokemon but I really think I saw someone playing Pokemon last week. :shocked:

Later,

Somebody once told me texting while driving is 7x as dangerous as drinking and driving....

'Drinking' drivers are at least trying to look where they're going.

'Texting' drivers are deliberately looking elsewhere and IMO are much scarier to ponder.
