Default You just never know


Well he I was traveling home from work on a nice balmy day, 50 deg and
sunny. Heading east on I-40 towards Black Mountain. Sign up ahead says
caution Line Painting Ahead, no problem traffic is fairly lite so I just
kinda start paying a little more attention.

I see the paint truck in the left lane painting the yellow line on the
left shoulder so I move over to the right lane and start slowing with the
traffic. As I was slowing and watching my mirrors, low and behold here
comes this 4 wheeler hell bent for election in the left lane with nowhere to
go. I gassed on it and headed for the bank.

Kinda felt like I was on Star Trak as when I looked over all I could see
was his undercarriage! I do believe I could have counted the welds in his
exhaust system.

He had hit the safebarrier on the rear of the paint truck, flipped him on
his side (the driver's side) and he slide on down the road into the
guardrail.

Me, I ended up in the ditch with mud and leaves packed everywhere.

The first NC Hwy Patrol on the scene came to my assistance, he helped me up
(yeah I was a little shaken and befuddled) and we righted the ol bike and
got it back on the shoulder of the road.

A few leaves of a nice fall color, a little mud, and a little dirt on the
backside of my jeans looks like the only damage I incurred.

The 4 wheeler that caused this was a young gal with the cell phone plugged
into her ear.

Just got back from the ER and my only injuries are a sprained wrist, not
bad for a old fart! Bout a qt of vodka should cure my ills.

Betcha it seemed like slow-motion. I was in a car crash years ago, and
it was like watching a video frame by frame...only louder, more scary
and it hurt worse.

You sure it was dirt on your backside? Like the old saying goes about
when you realize you're about to be in a crash: "First you say it...then
you do it."

That just pisses me off. Frickin' idiots and their cell phones. I've
mentioned it in here before, but we had a young girl kill some folks on
the interstate cuz she was busy texting somebody about something very
important, I'm sure. They charged her with vehicular manslaughter.
Sentence is 1 to 10, as I recall. Don't know what she got, but I think
she should be in jail *only* as long as the people she killed are still
dead. I think cell phone use should be treated just like DUI. Except the
officer on the scene gets to light 'em up with the Tazer before he
arrests 'em. (But other than that I don't have an opinion about it.)

Well that about sez enuff! John Ross wasn't in the area was he? <g>
Consider yourself lucky Mike. Glad you could tell the story.

There's some local ambulance chaser playing ads on the radio and TV
specializing in representing people that are hit by drivers that were using
their cell phones.

Shit, I see people every day on them dam cells while they're driving.
LOL They try to cup the phone and kinda lean over on it like they're
resting their head on their hand.

I don't see near as many as I used to though..

We passed a law in Washington too and they're still bad. They don't
pull you over for it directly but if the nab you for something else,
then they can pile on. I think wearing seat belts are the same way
here.

Gawddamnit man. If you'd rode home from FL with us yesterday I bet you
wouldn't have been riding today, & could've avoided all that. Glad to hear
you're okay. At least your wrist was hurt in a manly way, not by falling
over a parking lot wheel stop while running with someone's glasses.<d/r>

I bet you're NOT too young to remember when driving down the road
drinking a beer, nobody gave a shit. It's all about makin' big dinero
for the system now.

I haven't talked to anyone who has gotten ticketed for the phone yet. A
few who've gotten nailed for no seat belt, but I know a shitpot fulla
people w/ DUI's!

Kripes sake, for the 10K a DUI costs, a guy could rent a limo w/ 4
strippers to haul his ass to and from the bars. May even have enough
left over for a quick trip to the casino.

I like the way you think. However a taxi instead of a limo, will allow for
4 strippers, 2 midget hookers, & a camera crew.
