"When I heard the gunshots I ran away because I was scared cause I thought to myself, 'who carries a gun in their car these days'?" Haha I laughed when he said that.

We should use this against the hands free crap going on lately.
I see so many cops talking on the cell phone its just ridiculous.
Sad part was I saw a cop who was talking on the phone with a cup of (probably) coffee in his hand almost hit somebody when he ran a red light without any lights on.
The cop never even bothered to even tap the brakes.
Just kept going as if nothing happened. :cuss:

He probably would have pulled over the person he almost hit if he noticed that person did some crazy driving to avoid hitting the cop... That really really pissed me off.

I am not LE bashing but trying to point out its stupid people like that who ruin things for others who can easily talk and drive at the same time.

Sorry dude, no matter how much you may yell & scream to the contrary, you can not "easily talk & drive at the same time." No matter how good a driver you think you are, you simply aren't when you've got that phone in your ear. There are stacks & stacks of data, studies, and reports on this. Yakking on the phone is as bad or worse than driving drunk. You are distracted, and a hazard.

That's my 2c, I'm done.

That's a cool way out and everything...but a HANDS free device startling you while driving?? Come on now....
Hahaha. I was backing out of a parking space, a car alarm went off next to my truck, startled the crap out of me, and some woman drove behind me... and guess what? SHE WAS ON A CELL PHONE.

EDIT: Forgot to mention she caught a taste of my bumper. Hence the story.

everybody can until the first time it effects someone elses life.

Just like a guy on here said he knows his limit and has no problem driving buzzed. Yes, I guess no one does untill something happens.

If you go that route than even having passengers talk to you is a hazard and you shouldnt be driving then either.
I say it depends on the person doing it, the vast majority cant do 2 things at once but a few can
