    Excuses ,excuses, after I told her off and still on the mobile

    Was driving down Narre Warren road this arvo as see a young Muslim woman driving a mini bus ( toyota coaster type ) full of very young children, most probably from some Muslim preschool?? , no sign writing on the bus other wise I would have dobbed her into the organisation..
    One hand on the wheel and talking on the mobile phone with the other, I pulled into a servo and behind me she also pulls into the servo still with phone to ear., she gets out, still with phone to ear. So I tell her off, (not in a nasty way though) I told her she has duty of care for all those young children and it is illegal to drive whilst using a mobile phone and she should know better as she has the lives of all these little kids under her care.
    The stupid woman could see nothing wrong with it, she just kept making excuses after excuses, but still had the mobile glued to her ear.
    Gee that made me angry, another one for the Darwinian award.

    She wasn't just multi tasking, was she? Some women believe that they can do that.
    Cheers, Billy.
    Keeping it simple is complicated.

    Gee you're easily worked up.
    My opinion, is the dumb ones will eventually breed themselves out. For everything else there's law enforcement.

    Muslim part aside (I don't know why you mentioned, this, it has nothing to do with the story), you were lucky you weren't beaten, stabbed or shot. Wouldn't be the first time a 'good samaritan' gets the wrong end of the pineapple.

    I think for the Darwin Award they're only supposed to remove their own DNA from the equation not a bus load of nippers too!

    Yeah, exactly....I have no problem with Darwin ridding us of the terminally stupid, but when they could take a bus load of kids with them, that's different.

    The problem is they usually dont, seem to be more and more breeding. Also when they have an accident they normally take out someone else.

    Once you've cut someone out of a car after a crash who is either DUI or was on the phone whilst driving, you have no sympathy. I get quite vocal if I see someone driving now with a mobile glued to their ear.

    This is more wide spread than some of you would understand
    I drive a truck professionally and it astounds me of the amount of people and mothers with kids in the cars included i see and i have a very good veiw from high up that have their mobile in their hand while driving and i see it a bloody lot on hwy`s and freeways .
    Majority of these idiots are not talking on their ph more like txting or dumb booking
    Yes it angers and frustrates me as well as i see these idiots wander all over the road just waiting for a accident to happen with some poor innocent

    Quite a few truck drivers as well. Blue tooth isn't that expensive. Certainly cheaper than a fine or accident. Walk alongside any road in peak hour (s) and count the number of those that are easily visible playing with their phones. If you got a dollar per , going to work would be a poor option.
