Lately, there's been a hue and cry over people driving and texting or driving and using their cell phones. Experts have said any distraction is dangerous.
I don't make calls on my cell phone while driving, but I do answer calls. A pedestrian was lucky the other day that I wasn't distracted by a cell phone call. This woman not only was jaywalking -- something Amarillo Police Department is trying to discourage -- but she was talking on her cellphone, walking slowly and not paying attention to me bearing down on her.
I should have given her a blast of my horn, but I find people who use their horn as a form of expression annoying, so I braked until the clueless one passed me by.
All I could do is shake my head and worry what she'd be like behind the wheel.
