Really? Well lets see what happens...I won't let anyone cut me off, if you try, I'm not moving so if you hit me, you're at fault...I can drive in any road condition and I don't drive slow, I keep up with the flow of traffic...my driving skills are above average and I'm a female, for those that think female drivers can't drive.

Umm...not true, stand on any street corner and half the people that drive by will be on their phones. Stand in the Upper East for 10 minutes and you will start counting the number of people that aren't taking on their phones.

I've never heard of anyone being pulled over for talking on the phone in the city, Long Island, or NJ.

Really. How old are you. You sound very "irresponsible" and of a juvenile age.

Remember driving is a privelege, not a god given right, and with that responsibility comes the privelege of safe responsible driving or that privelege can be taken away.

It's a scientific fact that no one can concentrate 100% on more than one thing at a time. So anything you're doing besides concentrating on your safe driving habits, is distracting and an accident waiting to happen.

So you're telling me if I'm in the lane next to you, and I need to move into your lane...maybe to get off at an upcoming exit, and I turn on signal on then try to merge...you wouldn't let me?

Why the hell not?

Ummm, yes it is true! Why don't you ask me what part of NY I'm referring to? New York is a huge state! It's not all about the city.

Boy, I'm so glad you're moving here. We have plenty of drivers like you and they make life a hassle. You'll definitely either get shot, or have plenty of competition and some of these a@!#$%&* are ruthless!

Sable, I thought we agreed that you were not going to call me 'ruthless'?

LOL of course I'd let you over...however, if you are one of those people that bypass the line of slow traffic because you think you're gonna skip to the front, don't try to get in front of me...I'm aggressive, but I am courteous, so if you put a blinker on and you are really trying to get to your exit (or whatever) I'll let you over...it's just if you are inconsiderate, I'm gonna be inconsiderate right back.

I'm close to 30...and I really never was a juvenile, what teenage life I had (when I wasn't on punishment) was cut short at 16 since I started a family.

I know what driving is and what it's not and I also know what I'm capable of...I'm a aggressive yet defensive driver (living in detroit, you have no other choice, and the insurance rates there prove other people are defensive, Phoenix can't compare when it comes to rates)

I know when to talk on a phone and when not, I won't talk when it's raining, I've come to discover either people can't drive in the rain, or I really need to concentrate because people can't drive in the rain lol...I also refuse to argue on a phone while driving

People that eat and drive, change radio stations and drive, have a conversation and drive, have kids in the back seat and driving, are all distractions that are as bad or even worse than me talking on a phone and driving. I can hang up my phone when I feel it's necessary, you can't stop kids from arguing in the backseat nor another passenger to shut up while you drive...if you feel your life is in danger cus I'm talking and driving, oh well sorry for you...like I said, I know my capabilities and I work within those capabilities, I wouldn't do anything to put my life or my children's life in danger.
