This grates my goose...

 

Pics or it didn't happen is Lame. I don't take many pictures of anything and I think I tend to enjoy 'the happening' more than those who fuss over 'the shot'.

 

Quagga wasn't even rude or angry about laying down his frustration. 

 

I'm with you bro, it takes a dead someone or bad something to happen before people realise that driving while texting is honestly not worth it.

When you have taken it up with them and clearly it does not work what do you do next\.

 

WRT other companies, I do take it up with them and if it does not improve I go higher up the chain. However the problem here is that the owner is also guilty.

 

GOOD on you for taking it up directly with the company !

 

Even better for following up.  Each and every one of us KNOW somebody that has been the victim of "distracted driving".  Just think of Mailman on the forum, almost three months since his accident, new bike and a serious medical bill, and still not able to ride yet ... due to a "distracted driver" not stopping at a stop street.

 

 

Sadly we expect a certain amount of bad driving from "other companies".  Surely companies in the cycling community should be held to a higher standard !

So this happened to my brother on traffic. Guy with a bakkie on his phone slammed into him while stopped in traffic behind a bus. He watched and anticipated him coming,in his rearview guy was looking at phone.

The problem is that the majority sees this as accepted norm. as do alot of companies, who cant be too bothered as long ass the job is done.

Never mind how dangerous and inconsiderate they are to other road users. Other day on the radio, some cop or minister said something about doing more to prosecute this inconsiderate driving. 

Waiting to see ..........

But then people will say " mind your own business"etc

 

But this is how their actions now becomes your brothers problem...

Insurance goes up, ecess needs to paid and claimed back from bakkie driver, your brother without his car for weeks etc

 

This happened to me also, on the weekend that i really needed MY car not a rental as my car a tow bar....

YIP recent research show that up to 60% off all accidents are caused by distracted driving....not siure what % of that is related to whatsapp/ Facebook etc.

 

WTF, who checks Facebook when they driving?  :eek:

There was a video a while back where a cyclist was talking to a women and saying she was texting and her response was "I was on Facebook!!!"

We should storm CWC! They can't stop all of us. If we Naruto run, their excuses can't touch us! 

 

I'm in for the storm... but just to clarify will we be doing like an EFF storm and loot or just storm and bomb them with questions?

When this looting happens, just consider us all and post it here so we can all be there to take part. There is a bike or two thats fairly interesting.
