Default Now, I've seen everything...

I was driving home this morning on a 2 lane country road when I see an RG approaching from the opposite direction. About 100' in front of me he swerves across the double yellow line into my lane and then slowly drifts back into his lane. As he gets closer, I can see that the guy (no helmet) is holding his cell phone up to his ear with his left shoulder! WTF? I'm still shaking my head.

Nice. Saw a guy riding and texting a while back. That bag of douche water seemed to be proud of his 'skills'. Some are destined to be statistics.

Don't worry, he'll help purge the gene pool in the near future if he keeps it up. Need a little natural selection to keep the species from getting too stupid.

Amazing how some people think they are so damn important they can't be away from their phones, I bet he even brags about how he can ride and chat at the same time.
