I got hit and nearly killed by one of those (17 year old inattentive driver)
about 18 months ago. It was no fun at all. She never apologized, never
called to inquire how I was doing during my hospitalization or rehab,
nothing. Nor did her parents. I don't think about it much now, but it sure
bugged me back then. I hate that people like this are allowed behind the
wheel and, as in the case of my accident, I hate that inexperienced
teenagers are allowed to compound their inexperience by being allowed to
talk on cell phones while driving. That's just pure stupidity.

You want stupidity? A women driver here who killed a cyclist when she was
composing a text message on her mobile phone got away with a suspended
sentence! Anyone else would have gone to prison and good riddance but she
didn't because she was young and pretty.
