[Paradox]

My nightmare is encountering a large SUV being driven by a woman who is speaking on a cell phone... shudder.... :)

[Quality_Not_Quantity]

Was behind a ponytailed blonde soccer mom in a child-filled SUV one morning on a 45 MPH divided highway. You could see that she was continually looking down at whatever little Johnny in the front seat was doing because you could see the ponytail of her hair swinging back and forth.

I decided that it probably wasn't safe to be behind her and (what rapidly turned out to be wisely) decided to change lanes and get past her.

It wasn't 5 seconds later that I heard the heavy squeal of tires then 2 impacts in a row as she (apparently) looked up to see that traffic had stopped and locked 'em up.

She drove the car she hit into the one in front of it. I don't think anyone was seriously hurt (score one for big, massive SUV's) but it sure reinforced a lesson for me to do as little distracted driving as I can.
