Cell phone AND smoking

my wife was at a stop sign. In the rear view mirror she saw a women talking on her phone AND smoking at the same time. Needless to say she can't brake, talk , and smoke at the same time. Boom.

Dangerous driving conditions

It was down pouring. Roads were flooded, and driving conditions were dangerous. A driver was on her cell phone, clearly distracted, and did not heed the barricades. Her car was picked up by the flood waters and floating in the middle of the intersection.

Dangerously Texting and Driving

Since texting/handling a cell phone is illegal in Chicago, my brother decides he'd put his phone down on his lap while driving. He's looking down and texting while going 60 mph on a local street and never saw the car stopped in front of him at a light. Luckily, it was mostly bumper damage for the other car but his car was wrecked, and a cop saw what had happened and ticketed him.

Being a Vigilant Driver

When I am sitting in my car at a red light, I make it a habit of identifying drivers that are reading their phones or texting while in their cars. You can usually identify them because they keep looking down at their laps. I also make it a habit of letting them drive past me and I then get behind them.

Driver Shaving while driving

There was a day that I was on my way in to the office, when I saw a driver shaving while he was driving to work, he's not paying any attention to the cars that are stopped in front of him at a red light and almost rear ended a car in front of him. I thought this was just terrible,I thought this was one of the most cases of distracted driving.

SUV over Corvette

Traveling down Talcott to Cumberland I get a red light. Stop and waiting for the light to change. Look into my rear view mirror and all I see is a monster SUV coming and coming and not applying the brakes - was unable to move - all I could do was cross my fingers and lay on my horn. Amazingly she jerked her head up and slammed the brakes - I could just about see the under carriage of her vehicle. When the light turned green I was looking forward to wishing her a good day, but she turned.

Map

Traveling on Rte 14 to Crystal Lake -speed limit is 55 - car in front traveling at 30 miles - looked like he had a stiff neck - stiff neck was phone tucked under his chin and one hand on the wheel and the other holding a hot dog. Honking the horn did not make a difference - he just continued as he was - Finally cars were able to go around him and he proceeded to wave at everyone - which die not make for happy drivers.

Showtime on I-90

While traveling on the expressway, one of my songs came on the radio. As the music blared through the speakers, I began singing louder and louder. My right hand left the steering wheel to hold my imaginary microphone, and as real stars do, I closed my eyes for a split second to sing the high note. As I impeccably finished the note, I opened my eyes only to discover the person in front of me slamming on their brakes. On instinct, I swerved on to the shoulder and barely avoided a collision.

Almost rear-ended someone

I texted while driving and almost rear-ended a guy. We were moving slowly so it would have been a low-impact collision, but I should have known better. Next time, I'll pull over and text. The phone is like a drug! Keep it away from me!

Taking a Curve

One of my friends was texting to tell her boyfriend the roads were slippery and she would be late. While taking a curve, she slid off the road and into a ditch. Luckily it wasn't a busy road, is it was just a one car incident. But her airbags deployed and she complained of neck pain for a week.
