Be careful out there

This is a pretty incredible story.

Portland police arrested a 21-year-old man suspected of chasing down a cyclist Sunday and driving off at a high rate of speed -- with the cyclist hanging onto the hood.

Another case of "choose your battles carefully". Cyclist vs Car Driver = no win situation.

We just had a 56 year old guy who was walking killed by a motorist "TEXTING". The motorist didn't even stop.

This story reminded me of this thread.

Yeah, those 56 year olds are sure a crazy bunch. Especially when...... hmmm.... never mind. I just realized I am 56. But I never text. That guy should have been old enough to know better. Sad- too common!

I've seen a handful of drivers texting in their cars (usually young women). Scares the heck out of me to know I share the road with them.
