Hello everyone. Friday is one of ny laundry day. I finished cleaning the rooms and change bedsheets too. This will all go to the washing machine. I try to finish all the chores by friday so it will be a ligjt Saturday for me. So do not be surprised when I tell I will alsi do the ironing if the clothes later. Good thing the sun is high up and the wind abundant now. Just finishing my laundry a while ago in the garage I heard a motor passing by followed by a loud clash. When I open the gate, the neighbor's car park infront of their house has been hut by the motor and some parts on the bumper fell off the road. Reason for the accident: the motorcycle driver is reading a text message from his phone!!!! Car drivers now are prohibited from using their cellphones to prevent accudents, what more if you are motorcycle driver?!?

Oh my! Motorcycle driver - riding his bike and reading a text, that is way too dangerous and definitely screams an accident. I hope everyone is okay and he learns his lesson!!

true and I agree with you. People suffer because of someone's wrongdoings. I hope they will learn their lesson.

i've seen people eating while on a motorcycle. i've seen someone with a sleeping (or drunk) passenger behind him. so was the car owner there? how did they settle it? it's hard to believe people aren't aware these things happen, yet they still do it.

Yes, they were there. They are just to go out because it is their son's graduation.

Using the phone and driving is a crime here. If there is an accident people using their phones risk to go to jail.

Read that people complain more about drinking and driving than texting. They say texting causes more accidents than drinking and driving!!!!

This is really stupid behaviour. The motor-cyclist will get himself killed if he is not careful. Motor-bikes are much less forgiving than cars.

texting while driving should be a big NO No traffic rule. unfortunately, there are some who are 'pasaway'. when i receive a text message or a call while driving, i park the car on the side of the road and respond or text back.
