Yesterday I observed a young guy - 18-22 or so - backwards ball cap, on a sportbike on this town's most busy commercial thoroughfare, and he had his phone in his left hand, was looking down either reading text messages or composing/sending one as he rode along at perhaps 30-35 mph. Perhaps the height of stupidity? We can't rant only at cage drivers anymore. This fella won't be spreading his genetics, or at least let's hope not.

What an idiot.

I saw a young man walking into the setting sun some time back with his cap on backwards, scowling, and holding his hand over his eyes. He was walking by as I was sitting at a stop sign, so I couldn't resist asking him if he understood what the bill of that cap was there for.

 
I have also witnessed this level of stupidity When I witnessed it the idiot was on a texas interstate flyover. For those that do not know what a texas interstate flyover is - they are are massive interchanges several levels high (in Dallas they are up to five levels) from one freeway to another all at 60 - 70 mph. Yep this idiot was doing 65 mph and texting. One wrong turn and it is a long way down. Standard squid protective gear intact - shorts, ball cap and flip flops.

He ignored you, I bet.

He actually looked confused. I had cars behind me, so I went on. But I wondered if he ever understand what I was talking about.

 
Haha...Well, isn't this timely.

Last night, I worked swing shift for another supervisor. I was on a pretty busy 45mph road and sure enough, come up on a guy wearing jeans, wife beater, no helmet and no gloves. I could see how gloves would complicate things because he was texting. I didn't believe it at first. Never saw that before.

I drove almost next to him for almost a minute...he was oblivious until I lit up the air horn. He proceeded to **** himself and drop the phone at 40mph. THEN I pulled him over.

He had the balls to be a smart alec and say I "made" him drop the phone. He was pissed...He was even more pissed when he got $500 worth of traffic tickets for careless driving and texting while driving. I told him he was lucky he wasn't getting a citation for littering.

I actually let him run back to get his phone. By some miracle it didn't get run over. It was banged up, but I think the little case 'mostly' held it together. We had a talk about him ending up dead. I think everything I said bounced around in his little head and then fell out his other ear...Oh well.

 
Nice HotRodZilla.

Stupid squids. He should know that he needs his phone in an X-Mount attached to his bike via ram ball so it can sit on the dash shelf next to his radar detector, light controls, three GPS devices, cb radio, and xm radio. Only old dudes know how to do this properly.
