Topic awaiting preservation: This is way out of line (Page 1 of 1)

... And I will have no hard feelings towards the Asylum if this quickly gets deleted, or if I get deleted as a member. But as the following says, Desperate times call for desperate measures.

Okay, so here's the deal.
After a nice evening of saying so long to our old boss at the bank Istart my way back home. I'm on RT 420 and I start calling a few peopleto see what's going on for the rest of the evening. While scanning through the phone book, I stop paying attention to the road. Next thing you know my car is burried into the back end of a nice new Altima. Thecops arrive and I get arrested. So here I am with no car, no way to work and up to my neck in debt and fines. I have to go find a new job, get a lawyer, and figure out how I'm going to pay for all of this. Chances are I'm going to wind up in jail. I'm not really comfortablewith taking hand outs and I know that most everyone I know is alsopoor. But desperate times call for desperate measures. So even if you only donate $1, right now every penny counts. So send this to all your rich friends and family. If you believe in Karma then you know you will be rewarded ten fold. I'm sorry for having to do this but I have no other options. Thank You for your consideration.

Nobody injured? Count yourself lucky and do your time with a smile.

Yah, no sympathy here. Driving and cel-phoning is no brighter than drinking and driving...as you have just proven.

Never let your sense of morals get in the way of doing what's right.

I think the list needs to be re-prioritized -

1 = while you're driving.

This is why many states now have laws about such things.

Take responsibilty for your actions, and start being the man you were supposed to be goddamit!

where i live is one of those states. can't even have a cellphone in your hand while you are driving. even if you are not talking on it. i had mine in my hand one day and just driving. got pulled over and he gave me a warning. i really don't drive and talk on the phone. i got the entire side of my jeep destroyed from someone talking on a cellphone and ran a red light. sucked....
