The Distractables

The soccer Mom.
So busy with really important things.
Super smart and safety minded too.
She’ll skip the great traffic light two entrances up while leaving the mega mart.
The one with the really safe left turn arrow.
To choose the more challenging dart across three lanes and a turn lane while holding her phone like glue to the left side of her head.
The left turn from private property play.
In this case, any accident is always the fault of the one pulling into traffic.
So, rendering yourself unable to see or hear the traffic you intend to dart in front of is brilliant!
I’m watching for you all the time.
Your phone not only blocked you from using your left hand to drive it also blocked your vision enough to miss me on my motorcycle.
I see you running your mouth and not seeing me.
I see you turning your head checking left to right, only your look to the left isn’t really a look, not even a glance.
It’s motion. Nothing else.
When I avoid our imminent accident, and then you realize that fact, you then remove your right hand from the wheel, wave and mouth “I’m sorry”.
The phone remains glued to your head for the duration.
