Today, I was driving with my little brother when out of nowhere he yelled at me to stop. Thinking it was urgent, I slammed my breaks, almost getting rammed from behind. Why did he yell for me to stop? The Pokémon GO said there was a sparrow near us. FML

First of yes sorry spearow. Second thankfully my brother and I are fine and the guy that was behind us is too, well aside from being beyond pisses off at me he was fine. The reason I slammed my break is because the street I was driving in is infamous for people getting hit because they run across hopping to beat the car and I though I was about to hit a little kid or an animal. When we got home I explained to him how Pokemon is not a good reason to get us kill especially for a simple Pokemon like that one. Don't get me wrong I play the game to and have had some close calls because I wasn't paying attention but none where while I was driving. I mostly walk or ride my bike to go hunting for pokémon

Gotta catch em all! Seriously though, have a talk with him about this. A sparrow is now worth stopping for.

I really hope someone finds a Snorlax lying on a path somewhere.

Who the hell bloody cares about what the damn pokemons name is??? The point is the brother did something extremely irresponsible and I would have murdered him for almost killing us for a stupid game! Most of you commenting about the mistake she made (which was more than likely autocorrect) are bloody idiots.

You know you don't have to stop for a Pokemon. You can keep going as long as you click on the Pokemon. I play while riding around in the car. Turn ar off to make it easier

Unfortunately pokemon go actually caused a wreck already. Some idiot stopped on the highway. I play it, but I can't understand putting a game over people's lives. Guess I'm not "gamer enough" perhaps.

It's SPEAROW and its one of the most useless/common Pokemon in the game so WHY DID HE NEED TO STOP??

Hmmm, maybe it was because he hasn't caught one yet :Þ

My 5-year-old daughter plays while I drive. She always says, "Mommy! Please turn around! Pleeeeease! I missed one!"

Tell him that if he taps the Pokemon and turns off the AR, it goes with you. Unless the game crashes or unless the Pokemon runs away, you don't lose him.

I can't stand that game.. I know I'll get buried for this, but still. FYL, OP! Hopefully it won't happen again, and they'll learn that that was a dangerous thing to do! Hopefully the person behind you understood, too!
