There have been a few incidents and accidents involving drivers who are texting while driving. This is beyond stupidity. I have been a passenger in several vehicles where the driver was texting while on the wheels. But I guess, unless these drivers have been involved in an accident while tip-tapping on their phones, they would never stop. No matter how many times they are told that it's dangerous.
But the boundaries of human stupidity does not exist. I thought I had seen the most stupid things before. But this last time was way beyond any of those.
Mind you, I've ridden vans, which go through traffic like they were in a Harry Potter movies, while the driver was using the cell phone. These vans counterflow and defy conventions, rules and regulations, and dare defy the laws of gravity. And I rode them on the daily commute for more than 20 years.
As I said, this last one was way beyond there. It was nearing midnight, it was raining, the roads were wet, we were on a highway, the traffic was relatively light but composed mainly of heavy trucks, and the tricycle driver was driving with one hand while texting with the other hand. He didn't just do it once. It seems he was having a frakking conversation! He kept whipping it out of his pocket, read the message, text his answer and put it back into his pants' pocket. Surreal!
If the trucks weren't passing us by left and right, or he wasn't overtaking the trucks, it would have been hilarious. But really, if any driver wanted to fulfill a death wish, then please by all means, do so, but without any passengers. And that includes me.
Crazy gits!
