Crash

Today, I was driving down a highway during rush-hour. I heard my phone ring and couldn't find it. I bent down to feel around for it and got in an accident and totaled my car. The ringing? A commercial on the radio. Where was my phone? On my dresser at home. FML

That's why you ignore the sound of ringing phones when you're on the road. Pull over next time.

The idea of trying to answer your phone while driving.

Um yah. you F'd the life of the person you hit. did you think of that? Driving means driving. I'm not gonna lie, I use my phone when driving, and feel I am a good safe driver. But I never trade my full attention or even half of it on anything other than the road. However, I do understand your frustration with the radio noises... I think the siren and car horn noises should not be allowed... they are distracting because I am always trying to figure out if its real or not.

I don't get your comment... you DO trade half your attention. You may THINK you have 100% attention on the road when on the phone but you don't. Even if you have a headset on, you are still talking to someone. Which takes away from your driving. Your comment is extremely hypocritical and stupid. YOU can still get into an accident. Where is YOUR brain?

what kind of Rush Hours do you have cause mine is bumper to bumper traffic so how the hell did you manage to "Total" your car? i smell BS now if it was a new car and you dented the front maybe an FML but still You SO deserve it

You deserve it. I hope somehow you get your license taken away you idiot. Road comes first phone comes second.

You deserve it. You're supposed to watch the road, not look for your cellphone. I hope your liscense gets taken away. YTDI

I hate when radio stations (be it ads or songs) use alarms or sirens to get your attention. It conditions you to stop listening to these crucial noises. That being said, you should have let it go and even if it had been your phone, if its important, there is such thing as voicemail. Next time, I hope you die. Darwin.

There have been so many times i've nearly rear ended someone beucase of thinking my phone is ringing
