"...Many of todays youth have no survival instinct that I can see..."


A teenager walked out of a store, wearing headphones, crossed the sidewalk, and directly into the path of my vehicle a few weeks ago...all without looking up from his cellular phone.
The fact that I was concentrating on driving is what saved his life as I slammed on the brakes and leaned on the horn to secure his attention.

Years ago, on more than one occasion, while riding in a carpool to work, I observed a man, dressed in a business suit, driving along and reading a newspaper.

Examples of people educated way beyond their intelligence.

On the highway I am reluctant to use the horn on ‘texters’ and/or ‘talkers’.
Concerned they will ‘wake up’ and swerve into me..
