it's easier than ever to kill someone these days....the amount of people who can't stay off their phone for even 1-2 minutes is ridiculous.
just last week i saw a car crash, we were stopped at the light in the two left turn lanes. nikkas in oakland are good for blatantly running a red light, so the car in the outside left lane (to our right) decides to run it (we all had been stopped there for about 30-40 seconds), the car in front of me was on their phone, and just responds to seeing a$$hole red light runner go through the intersection and also turns on red and gets hit. this 100% would not have happened if they had just been watching the light, at most they would have started into the turn but stopped realizing it was red
then today, i decide to cross on a red because there's enough of a break in the cross traffic, all the idiots on their phones jump into the crosswalk to narrowly be missed by a car...again, just being present in the world would keep you from behaving like blind sheep.
