Illegal to not be hands-free in California, but it seems about one out of three drivers here is either talking on their phone (holding it to their ear) or punching away at it (see the tell tale bobbing head). A young female relative of mine was cited in my town - over $400 for the ticket.

She's lucky to be alive. Considering how much damage a 150 lb deer can do to a car, think about the damage a 1,200 lb cow would do.

LOL, add one letter to her last name and the driver becomes "Daisy Cowhit".

I wonder if she now understands why it is important to concentrate on your driving, not take your eyes off the road even for a couple of seconds, pull over to use a cellphone?????

I hope she carries a lot of property damage insurance coverage. Some other online articles say a few cows in critical condition were given emergency surgery!

Why do you want her to learn a lesson. This is Natural Selection giving her a booty call for a threeway with her and Death. Her airbags and seatbelts c-ckblocked.
