One of my pet peeves is drivers texting and talking on their cell phones while driving. I’ve ridden with friends or family whose been in near accidents because they absolutely must answer their phone or because they’re on their phone and not concentrating on operating their large moving death trap.

Is it really that hard to pick up a hands free device or just wait until you get to your destination? So to all my friends, family and visitors–get off your damn cell phones while driving! Why? Because this could be you.

The motorcycle you see inside this car was supposedly traveling at approximately 85mph when the VW driver pulled out from a side street. The motorcycle rider obviously did not have enough time to react and avoid an accident. The driver of the VW was talking on her cell phone.

The car actually flipped from the force of the impact and landed about 20 feet away from the initial point of impact. The motorcycle rider was found inside the car with the VW driver and passenger. All three were killed instantly.
