My commute today.

Hi everyone, it's been a while.

While commuting today on a chilly 25 deg f. morning I managed to capture the not so elusive Mr. Texting Guy. Never put down his phone the entire time until I honked. Easily a mile and a half distance.

Idiot....

MOTM - Jan '16
I had a guy in traffic on a commute a few weeks ago with his lap top on the passenger seat, had a command line session open and was typing the whole time.

Two days ago, I saw a young girl riding a 50 cc scooter while texting; no hands on the grips for a couple of blocks.

Yesterday on long island flashing high beams on a car that was driving erratically ended up in shooting and woman being wounded. I try to just stay away from this kind of people just because you never know...

That is the best approach dealing with the increasing number of bad drivers.
Always put as much space and time 9and some vehicles if you can) between your bike and aggressive or erratic drivers.

I've done that before, but on bicycles and dirtbikes going down the road.
