6. Drivers texting?

So dangerous to pedestrians, bicycles and motorcycle riders. I do not drive much at all after retirement, and if I do, just local in rural WNC. Had to go to Asheville Guitar Center yesterday. The driving on I-40 and 240 around the business district was full of idiots driving, no signals, whip in and out, merging onto a highway, forget it, they believe they have Right of Way. It’s like a bunch of spoiled kids in a go cart NASCAR ride. Spoiled adults in huge ass SUV’s and no rules apply to me attitude. I get more angry on that drive than if I watched 24 hours of Hannity straight. Lawlessness is so today.
