In reply to the discussion: Well, I just watched another Blab-N-Drive nearly run over a child [View all]iscooterliberally
(2,859 posts)24. I agree. I was hurt by a blab n drive, and they got away.
i spent a week in the hospital with multiple fractures. The person made a right on red while on the phone. All legal in my state. I was on a motorcycle. I tried to swerve to avoid hitting the car, but my front tire washed out. People stopped to help me but no one got the tag of the car. To this day I don't think the person on the phone even knows what they did. I wish there was a safety feature in cars that blocked cell phone signals when you put the car in gear. I was out of work for two months.
