It is very dangerous to use your cell while pumping gas. Actually you are not allowed. I definitely would have said something to that person or to the gas attendant.

Yep I know but do you really think it would stop him from doing it again ? I dont think so because the entitlement factor with these cell abusers is amazing !

That actually isn't true any more, if it ever was. It went through the new cycle a few years ago that nobody really knew where the idea had come from. The only risk is apaprently going in and out of your vehicle to retrieve the phone (static), but not the operation of a phone. I've noticed the gas stations I've been at recently had the cellphone related warnings removed.

If it's dusk, and you are riding the wrong way up the sidewalk (without lighting or a helmet), DO NOT expect a driver to get out of your way by RUNNING OVER the cyclist in the bike lane obeying the law complete with helmet and lighting; that car was waiting there for traffic to clear long before you pedalled your butt up to it. Most importantly, if you work in a store where people spend thousands of dollars every year, don't be seen cussing anyone out in public.

To the Asshat in the Acura who passed me on the right, in an intersection with only 1 lane (Mine). Then you drove all tha way from KLO to Hwy 97 while talking on the phone, most of the time with your wheels over the centre line and tailgating the truck and trailer in front of you.....You Sir are an Idiot in the 1st degree!

Yep, but I have my doubts anyone will admit it was them.

Even if They dont some might recognise their own similar stupid acts and maybe they will smarten up knowing people are watching them and calling out people for things done stupidly, specially "cell phone driving nut cases" and "make up in the rear view mirror queens"
Its time people know they are not alone on the road to do what they like,,, its for getting from one place to another without hurting anyone.

They wont smarten up because they are idiots. That's why they do what they do in the first place. They don't care what other people think. Near accidents or accidents might help them smarten up .... maybe ....
