Man do I ever agree with you on the cell phones. I am generally opposed to "nanny state" legislation but the person operating an 80,000 pound truck tractor with trailer should NEVER be using a cell phone at the same time.

If the article did anything to me, it provided a clear reminder to pay extreme attention while driving and to carry a healthy fear and respect for automobiles. Driving is by a large margin statistically the most dangerous activity most of us engage in, and we do it several times a day. Not enough people drive with that fact in mind.

I can't tell my loved ones enough; pay attention pay attention pay attention!! You can be the best driver in the world, but if the guy coming the other direction has a heart attack and crosses over you had better be paying full attention and be aware of your surroundings!
