    I have no pity for you.

    You do realize that this is exactly why talking on the phone is frowned upon, if not illegal in most states?
    You were driving while distracted, and you should have pulled over somewhere safe to make that call.
    You could have simply stopped on that side street with your flashers on to make the call. Other cars would have simply gone around you.

    No guilt trips?
    You should have the guilt piled so deep...

    It seems the two-year terrors have been running people down from upon their mighty steeds of self-righteousness on regular basis around here lately. Which is so humorous, because they still don't realize just how much they don't know! SMH

    hummmm well I would say that both drivers were at fault, at least your not like the fellow with Prime who tore off his trailer axles with the red post at the entry to the Laredo T/A about a week ago. Not one but both, he didnt stop with the first one.
