Every time one of these threads comes up some guy gets on with an anecdote about women being the only ones texting. I on the other hand have seen far more men driving big rigs texting.
My husband bought me a big SUV because a woman on a cell phone ran a red light, hit me, and totaled my station wagon some years ago. Riding in that SUV, there are very few cars on the road that scare me now, cell phone or no. But those truck drivers texting and talking on phones frighten me to death.
Unless someone gets to these kids and reminds them they are not the only ones on the road, there are going to be some horrific accidents coming and it won’t just be some women in little cars. The cause will be irresponsible men in 18 wheelers, cement and rock trucks, and logging rigs, what have you. The end result will be catastrophic.
I never said females were the only ones, just on this particular ride that I took, I only saw females. On other occasions, I have seen men on their devices while driving, of course.
However, I must say, it does seem to me that I see females doing things like this, including putting their make up on while driving on the interstate, much more often than I see males doing such things. This is just how I recall my own personal experiences, but I am not sure how others may see the same things.
I never look into rigs or other such large vehicles, they are just too high up, and I don’t like to take my eyes off the road while I am driving, so I cannot really comment on that. I will say that what I fear the most living here on the two-lane highways of death in Florida are the logging trucks doing 80 mph separated from me by about a 5 inch yellow line, some air, and nothing else X_X
