Subj : T-Raffic To : Dave Drum From : Lee Lofaso Date : Thu Sep 21 2023 20:22:10 Hello Dave, RH>> Hi Dave, RH>> us to make the turn--they may have spotted us from some distance RH>> as the road is straight for a ways and taken pity on us patiently RH>> waiting. DD>> And sometimes the recipent of such largess is so surprised by the DD>> courtesy I have to tap the horn to get them to take the advantage DD>> offrered. RH>> I've seen that; also seen those waiting for a different shade of RH>> green. (G) DD>> There have always been those lost in their own tiny little world. DD>> It's gotten a lot worse with the advent of cell phones though. RH>> At least at a light, they're stopped, not trying to use the phone DD> while RH>> driving. NY State has now designated most of their highway rest areas RH>> as text stopping places, some with, some without other facilities. DD> In my state. Chillinois, if the local nabs see you driving with your phone DD> to your ear you might just get a citation for "distracted driving" Before DD> the advent of commonplace blue-tooth capability in vehicles I was know to DD> tell callers "Hang on while I find a pull-off so we can talk." What a silly rule. Just because a driver is not seen driving with his hands on the wheel does not mean he/she is not driving the car. And why does the person in the driver's seat have to be the one who is driving the car? Certainly that makes no sense. DD> One time I ratted out a cat that passed me on the interstate for texting DD> whilst driving. I was in the company van which allows one to see into most DD> passing vehicles. What a snitch! A peeping tom on the highway! Shame on you! DD> I was going my customary "5 over" on cruise when I noticed a car gaining on DD> me. So when it passed I checked it out and there was a young female DD> steering with her knees, head down, and thumbs flying. There is no law barring people from steering with their knees. There is also no law barring people from giving or receiving a blow job while driving. DD> So I pulled out my cell phone and called *99 to get the nearest state DD> trooper. Trust me when I tell you, you are not her type. DD> I gave him the tag number and a description of the car, as well as why I had DD> called. Did you tell him the *real* reason? Not a chance. DD> He asked for my location, then said "I'm close. Watch your mirrors." And you complied with his request, realizing your dream girl could be yours if the trooper did his job. DD> Soon here he came in "angry" mode with the red and blue disco lights DD> flashing. I'll bet that gave you a real woodie. DD> When I passed him he was standing at the driver's door of the offending DD> vehicle "explaining the error of her ways" to the driver. I'm sure the two of them reached an agreement, and all was well. For Life, Lee -- Nobody Beats Our Meat --- MesNews/1.08.05.00-gb * Origin: news://eljaco.se:4119 (2:203/2) .
