If you don’t have one, get one

[cell phone earpiece]Well, I had my first traffic accident today. I was driving to work, when I noticed the cars ahead of me had stopped — not too unusual in morning traffic. I slowed to a safe stop, then checked my rear view mirror to see what the person behind me would do. I watched and thought, he’s coming awfully fast, oh no he’s WHAM.

Apart from a sore back (yes, I saw a doctor at Kay’s insistence), I’m doing all right. The back of my car is banged in a bit and I can’t open the trunk. The other fellow’s truck? Unscathed.

He was apparently too busy talking on his cell phone, telling a friend about his brand new truck.

If we talk on our phones while driving, let’s all use earpieces, shall we?

    Jon sorry to hear it. Getting rear-ended changes the way you drive. You’ll never be able to stop without looking in your rear-view mirror thinking that the car behind you won’t stop. I hate that feeling. Anyway, glad that you’re safe.

    Maybe if you would’ve had one of those “baby on board” stickers, that wouldn’t have happened. :)

    Always carry crutches in your car and the number of a good lawyer….imagine the look on their face when you fall out of the car screaming, crutches and all.
    That should slow em down.
