Just found out that my parents car got written off yesterday. It was parked out the front of their house on a wide straight section of quiet suburban road, and a car coming the OTHER WAY crossed the road and slammed into it head on at full speed and pushed it backward several car lengths until it hit the next car parked behind it. No skid marks. No prizes for figuring out what the driver was doing with his phone at the time. Seems our lives are at constant risk because of these devices and the morons that are addicted to them.

That sucks Harrow, a good thing they weren't in or near the car at the time. What will it take to stop people texting while they're driving - confiscate the car, phone and licence permanently if they cause an accident? That'd surely put a lot of people off risking it, and it would put the ones dumb enough to risk it and cause accidents off the roads for good.

It beats me why fumbling with a phone while driving , especially texting doesn't result in a suspended license. We won't stop the carnage until those who decide the penalties face up to the facts.

Not looking where you are going while driving is way more dangerous than driving with excess 0.05 alcohol in your blood , and the latter , will get you suspended, as it should . Driving blind won't J

Im thinking of taking my wife's phone out for dinner on valentines day just sit it on the table in front of me .
Ill take photos & post pictures of my meal & save the coin on her meal.
Be just like she is there but with half the expense .
Plus it won't take hours getting ready
Why didn't I think of this years ago?

I used to go to a fortnight diner with friend, had a beer and after a while they were all on their device........... no one talking to each other............. just showing "cool" items they had found on FB, Youtube............. Fckuking boring as bat sh1t! Don't go anymore! Was making me feeling like an outcast?

you sure showed them! now THEY are the outcast..... oh wait

Ive spent the past few days in Adeaide visiting kids and grandies. plus also wanted to try out a little toy I had made. Its a minature water squirter that fits onto arm of my glasses, tiny squirt hits up to 2m away and controlled by hand. Never had so much fun. Shopping centre zombies are still wondering what **** on them.

Been thinking for a while that we need to start a movement where if we see somebody on the phone whilst driving, or texting at the lights, we all honk our horns to give them the ****s.
It needs to be a socially unacceptable as drink driving or smoking inside a kindergarten. That may help with the driving thing....

Could maybe extend that to screaming something like loser and pointing at those who feel the need to pull the phone out in a restaurant lol

I pulled alongside a girl in her car on the phone whilst driving and thankfully she had her window down. I wound mine down and screamed as loudly as I could "get off your phone you idiot". I think she wet herself I scared her that much. She was totally oblivious to what she was doing.
Mark I like your idea but unfortunately with cars as quiet inside nowadays as what they are you can barely hear a horn anymore
I say just stare intently and shake your head if at traffic lights or if driving behind them flash your high beams.

Many years ago in another age/century I had an early land rover, this had a tow ball hitch mounted too far out and living where I was in that far off land of the long white cloud, this tow ball saved the rest of my land rover several times, think its time to reinvent it on my Falcon for texting zombies to hit something worthwhile, do damage to themselves (if possible) and leave me unscathed.

yeah well after two weeks of dicking around insurance just wrote off missies car that zombie run up the back of .
Im pissed off just put 4 new tyres & new exhaust on it a month ago.

Pretty ironic you guys have spent the time to read this topic...and many more I guess (as I see alot of the same repeat offenders on Seabreeze)...but still bag out spending time using the internet. Who really cares - its a good time waster - no big deal.

Embrace the technology boys...ya sound like a pack of haters that have not caught up with the times.

Who gives a **** if other people are on their phone - people come in all sorts - and I'm sure they actually do partake in other activities throughout the day - just like you do.

Be boring if every one was a clone of each other.

So you're the bastard that caused the dent in my shin!!!

I don't have a problem with technology. But now I have a problem that the car is a write off because women was txting while driving.
There's a time &place & out the front of a school driving is not the time or the place even though I will end up massively out of pocket I can look on the bright side. If my wife was not stopped at the crossing they would be burials for the kids killed.
Of course its a write off I just spent $4000 on the bloody thing. The insurance company doesn't say we'll pay you more now you put new tyres battery exhaust etc .
if I didnt have bad luck i wouldn't have any luck at all .

Those goggles suck. You have to focus on a screen 10cm from your eyes. It's hype. I was sick (literally) of it after 2 minutes.

Phone zombie in a shopping mall walk straight in the water feature and then sue the shop!!! WTF the stupid woman should sued for polluting the pond!

I think she tried to sue because security were caught laughing at the video.

A few words to describe a zombie or the walking dead as i like to call them.......Without awareness of the smokescreen that is our current reality.

Closed mind not open to contrary evidence or opinion,uninformed,TV news watcher and newspaper reader.

Blissfully ignorant by design. Fearful of the potential truth of conspiracy.

Ahahaha! remind me of my car few years ago, installed little window sprayers on the front bumper and used to spray peoples at the pedestrian crossing. Wish I had a phone with cam then, they could never make it where the fckuking water was coming from specially on a sunny clear day. The look on their face was priceless!

going off topic but many years ago I had a cassette player loose in car running off its own batteries and big speaker stuffed behind the grill. This had a stack of cassettes with different noises on each one. cows mooing, steam trains,(middle of night in places where no trains), wolf whistles, squealing car brakes, etc etc great fun for teenage boys playing wolf whistles at preety short skirted girls, watching people when massive brake lockup.

tempted try the same thing again, loud bangs, car crash noises, cows in middle of city.

Sounds like your may have been inspired by Wes

He is the man who started my noise hobby, the local bobby was who stopped it

3D can look pretty good with 75" OLED screen.

Dinner last night, and a family on the next table looked so sad. The dad, mum and boy were all on their phones, and there was a girl who was just staring around a now and again looking at the boy's phone, none of them said a word for 1/2hr.
