Man, that's some scary shizzola there. Glad you never went shiny side down!

People on cellphones while driving should be shot, plain and simple... and then the bill for the bullet should be sent to their parents for breeding such a moron!

Cheers!

Another thought, seriously. I suspect you might be putting too much faith in the driving skills of people that you know nothing about. Develop the theory that they're all out to get you and maybe (just maybe) you won't have as many close calls.

LA traffic bites. Who the heck are these fools talking to?
They were probably talking to each other and she told him to slam on his brakes when he saw you coming. Glad you made it out unscathed.

Best part is your OK and learned a valuable lesson, there out to get you. I think car cell phone use kills more bikers then helmets save and we should ban them fromwhile driving![:@]

I was rear-ended by a cell user while stopped at a red light, plus other scrapes as well.

I see that chit everyday. People on cell phones that don't have a clue what's going on around them. SometimesI wish the damn things had never been invented. [:@]

It should be legal to shoot people operating a vehicle on a cell phone. Their weapon is a couple tons, and the bullet a few ounces - just power assisted.
