What's worse, Coronavirus or Distracted Driving?

[Cuda Cody]

Had a little bit of time to drive a "fun" car this afternoon.  Spent about 45 minutes on the road dodging distracted drivers with the nose stuck to their phone.     Got me thinking, what scares me more? Coronavirus or Distracted Drivers? 

If I could wave a wand and either Coronavirus or Texting Drivers could be gone from all the world...  I think I'll take my chances with Coronavirus in the world.

As a guy that carried a dead 7 year old girl from a head on, caused by one of these POS's (then performing CPR on her to no avail), I say drop a bead on every damn one of them.

Distracted driving for sure.
I had to install a dash cam in my van after I was hit by an unlicensed immigrant. She decided to pull into
my lane while talking on her phone. After she sideswiped me she rear-ended the car in front of her.
No damage to my van. Her car and the woman she rear ended a good bit of damage.

Very well said @Cuda Cody as I would agree in full with your assessment

A co worker of ours was killed yesterday in a car accident.
Hit by a freight truck. 27 years old. 

I fear the worst possibility; he was texting.

Texting is far worse. I'm going to be 66 next month, have copd, and had a triple by pass so I'm the perfect target for corona. But I strongly suspect the odds of stroking out watching the overhyped bs on tv are far greater.

I had a young girl veer into my lane and side swipe my truck last year....swore she wasn't checking her phone

[cuda hunter]

I was out doing throttle therapy on my Harley today.  There was a youngin that swerved into my lane that was obviously looking down at a phone.  Ridiculous.  absolutely ridiculous.  Wish I could pull em out of their car and John Wayne em'.

It's illegal here, most guys seem to be able to deal with not using them. The ladies however can't seem to leave them alone.

I'd venture a guess that we have more wrecks that were TXT related than ones that were OWI related

Distracted drivers kill more people than any virus ever will!

I see it every single day anymore. I have a 30 mile commute to work on a major interstate. I have been making this drive 5 to 6 days a week for 17 years and I can tell you I would love to shove peoples phones where the sun don't shine. Speeds up to 80 MPH when traffic allows and 1 car length in between cars is a disaster waiting to happen. I have been behind people who are off the road more than on. I think talking or texting while driving should be mandatory 1 year loss of licence on the 1st offense. That will smarten people up. I have seen a big increase over the last 10 years and seems to be getting worse every year. I feel sorry for the person that hits me because they were texting. I keep bail money handy. LOL

This is why self driving cars are being experimented with, for people who don't belong behind the wheel!

Ask me in a month or two.....

I think distracted driving is going to be worse than drunk driving.

I know someone that works with 2 20 something year olds. They Uber to work so they can play games on their phones. At least they are responsible, but I'll bet they are in the minority.
