Bad Driver
Once, while driving and chatting, I noticed the other cars just zooming past me. I looked at my speed and it was down to 45 mph. How embarrassing! I also find it hard to check my blind spots for lane changes with my phone, hand and arm against my head.

Mikhail,
Well, that confirms my daily experiences. I'm constantly watching out for drivers making turns into the crosswalk I'm about to step into, shooting through without a glance. I hope there's more laws requiring hands-free cellphones, because people don't seem to remember that they're driving a potentially lethal machine at high speeds and need to give it their full attention.
