Need to talk or text on the phone with someone. Get off the road, Simple as that. I tend to give anyone including a Sheriff "The Bird".

Amazed at this in Thailand where we often holiday.
Delightful young Thai lasses riding down the road on their 125cc
with the cellphone to her ear, the dog with its feet on the handlebars and when it rains they hold the umbrella up too.
4 and 5 people on 125cc is common.

Could have been worse.......he could have been text messaging with no hands on the handlebars.

And I agree - each day, each minute is a gift and we should live that way. Be Blessed.

ON the way to work there is this really busy intersection and while I'm waiting for my turn I have been counting the number of people going by me on the phone it is absolutely amazing it has been averaging about 1 out of every 4 cars some one is on the phone ! and even the cops what did we ever do without the cell phone sure wish they would pass a law and enforce it

Distracted or reckless driving is already against the law. I don't think we need any more driving laws. The states that have laws against using a cell phone without a hands free headset have failed to show how that helps. It is the conversation that distracts a driver, not the hand holding their phone to their ear.

On the bike is one place where you don't have to worry about the phone, check it when you stop,riding is my time.
