NOW DO YOU SEE IT?
The Honda crotch rocket rider was traveling at approximately 85 mph. The VW driver was talking on a cell phone when she pulled out from a side street, apparently not seeing the motorcycle. The rider’s reaction time was not sufficient enough to avoid this accident. The car had two passengers and the bike rider was found INSIDE the car with them. The Volkswagen actually flipped over from the force of impact and landed 20 feet from where the collision took place. All three involved (two in the car and the bike rider) were killed instantly.
We’re dealing to two really big issues here:
TALKING/TEXTING WHILE DRIVING
It’s really unfortunate that texting while driving is no longer the “exception” but it seems like it has become the “rule”. The irony in this whole phenomenon is that a society that actually talks to each other less than every before seems intoxicated with electronic communication. Cell phones, email, Facebook, Twitter and texting are all substitutes for actual face-to-face CONVERSATION!Statisticians say that “texting while driving” is even more dangerous that “drinking and driving”. Come on folks. Let’s slow down a little and think about what we’re doing.
DAREDEVIL ATTITUDE
“It won’t happen to me”. “They got hurt or got in trouble because they didn’t know what they were doing”. Unfortunately too many of our young people (and some old ones) think that natural law doesn’t apply to them. You have to ask yourself “why is necessary for anyone to drive 85mph on a surface street?” The answer is simple: He just didn’t think "it" was going to happen to him. If you love the people in your life and have any influence at all, please stand up and say something. Their lives may depend on it!
