If you're talking on your cellphone does it make you invincible?

So I'm driving to work on a 4 lane highway and we come to a traffic light....it's red...it changes to green and just as we're getting through the intersection, this stupid lady on a cellphone starts to walk when she DOESN'T have a walk signal.

What is it with stupid men/women/children/mimes with cellphones? They think their conversation is more important than their safety and well being. I mean, with the exception of the mime from silent movie, they don't even talk on the phone! I honked at the girl and told her she was in the wrong place and she better pray that she doesn't get hit by someone before they get their coffee, but she just gave me attitude. Maybe we should weed these people out so they don't reproduce.

I would have hit her..Not hard but I would have just rolled into her where my bumper would have tapped her.

Hopefully then she would have gotten the picture.

Wouldn't that be vehicular assault?

That's why cars have horns on them. I love laying on my horn at just the opportune moment to scare the sh!t out of some idiot not paying attention.

Too late, they're an infestation at this point. Laws even favor them.

it would and one could make a good case, with him/her posting here, that it would be pre-meditated attempted murder :D (half serious with the latter part)

People just do not know how to cross the street. When i was little, they taught me to look both ways....people do not do that anymore. They cross at their leisure.

If wouldn't be vehicular assault, unless th driver is absolute idiot and confessed to purposefully hitting her.

One would assume that had the OP actually done that, he wouldn't have come here to brag about it.

All the OP would have to say is "I looked up and saw I had a green light, but didn't see a pedestrian... she must've darted in front of me."

yeah, that's what i was thinking too, that's why i inserted the "with him/her posting here" more of like hindsight for the law enforcement.

just another incident which reinforces why you shouldn't talk on your cell and drive.
most people can't do two things at once.

Mine doesn't make me invincible, but it does give the the ability to me fly.

I swear I can jump bigger puddles than I could if I wasn't talking on phone.
