Sometimes I feel like Tim Brown
I’ve been spoiled recently. It has been awesome outside, and I rode my bike to work a couple times in the last week. This morning, however, I drove the Jetta to work and I was nearly hit twice.
Maybe it was that the Jetta is a smaller mid-size sedan and was harder to see, or maybe it was that the Jetta’s diesel engine is on the quieter side, or maybe it was the fact that both near misses were caused by drivers talking on cell phones.
Granted driving is relatively simple at times, there are other times that demand more attention; be it lane changing, traffic lights, stop signs, intersections, merges and yields. I really think it unfortunate that I am seeing more and more near misses with drivers on cell phones (to be honest not all, but many!).
I found this cartoon kinda funny… but if you have hit a deer, you might not.
