Default Young girl,Daddy's SUV,cellphone and 1 biker

Raleigh NC Sunday,9am, I-440 Speed limit 60,I'm doing 60 2 lanes over from right. Young girl in white suv on cell phone passes me 2 lanes over on my left doing probably 70. I guess she was going to miss her exit so she came across all the lanes into my lane. I swerved and here she came again. I had to take to exit ramp she wanted to keep from getting wiped out. She missed the exit. Needless to say, she was gone by the time I came down the ramp (above the speed limit) to see if she was around so I could wave at her and tell her just how nice of a young lady she is.
Wish I could have got the tag so I could contact Daddy and tell him how much attention his little girl is paying while she was in his 30k toy. I hope she p'd herself,like I almost did.

Glad you weren't hit. I wish cell phone's were illegal to use while driving.

It's an everyday thing now of days. I just was out for a delivery ride of 100 mile and saw 15 times the same thing just today. Life in the big city.

Too bad you didn't catch up, you could've admired her make-up also. I'm sure she just finished putting it on.....

I think they are in some states.

Enforcement is the problem.

Default Glad your OK!

This is another example of the reason we should all ride defensively. And everyone asks me why I try to take backroads everywhere I go. I believe I would rather deal with Bambi on a backroad than a cell phone driver on a main road.

Raleigh is a motorcycle unfriendly city. Road Rage central.

Go 20 miles in any direction from there and it gets much better.

Yesterday, I had a young lady start to pull over into my lane right next to me without looking. She was dialing her phone. Quickly reved my motor and she looked up right at me, but just kept coming over. Luckily I had room to change lanes. I seriously think they are in some type of cell phone zombie state when driving.
