I dunno if this a good story, but it makes for some good and important discussion.

My first thought is that iMuf is wrong for chewing her out, but that is cuz I am, like most guys, overly sensitive to a crying woman. And TheManiac makes such an important point about this being how some people get their faces shot off. But after more consideration, that was probably actually a brave and noble thing you did iMuf. Maybe she actually learned a lesson and you saved hers and someone else's life. No guarantee there, but had you simply carried on with your day her driving habits were not going to change.

IMO, Slugger identifies the real problem as people's internet obsession. It just grosses me out the way people live now, plugged-in and disconnected.

Yea, I hate to make girls cry, and I feel a little bad that I did make her cry. I'm the kind of guy who likes to comfort a crying girl. Yes I did do some cussing and showed her how in the wrong she was. But I never disrespected her in anyway, that's not the kind of person I am. I just made it clear that what she did nearly cost me my life and that if she does that again she could cause someone to lose there life. Hopefully she can learn from this and maybe next time she will keep the phone in her pocket/purse. Well on another note, to lighten things up. That adrenaline rush was kinda nice haha

People don't seem to take the possibility of an accident serious at all...unfortunately I think a lot of the population is ignorant to just how serious car accidents can be and how even a seemingly small mistake can end up costing a persons well being, or their life.

Nothings so important that you need to take your eyes off of the road, and if there is pull over first. Period.
