From the Post: "A driver distracted by her ringing cellphone smashed into a tractor-trailer in Brooklyn early yesterday -- injuring her two adult passengers but remarkably leaving her baby boy unscathed, witnesses said. 'I looked away, and the car went out of control,' said Carmen Natel, 31, who'd been driving two female co-workers home from a party at their boss' house." The incident occurred at Humboldt and Greenpoint—and a security guard "pulled 10-month-old Jaydi from the mangled wreck."





technodrunk.
What a stupid bitch.
'I looked away, and the car went out of control,'
Is it possible to be in control of a car while you're looking away?
Female drives are, and forever will be, a greater danger to those on the road than cell phones will ever be.
please spare me your misogyny - besides that, I mostly see men driving badly around the city (esp. car services)
Males drive badly because they're assholes. Women drive badly because of lack of skill/bad prioritizes/the fact that they are women.
There's a difference.
You are overgeneralizing, and you are still a misogynist.
Amen to that brother...AMEN!!
what about people who call phone sex whilst driving?
would that be a "hands free" phone?
'I looked away, and the car went out of control,'
Ugh what a disgusting self-serving statement. No, the car did not go out of control. You, as the driver, failed in your duty to devote your attention to your driving and maintain control of your vehicle. Take some resonsibility for your actions, jackass.
What? An item was posted about something that happened in Greenpoint, 11 hours have gone by... and no one has made a comment about hipsters yet?
