Reply #11: Jerk-offs who talk on the cell phone while driving. [View All]

A bill to make that illegal died in the Connecticut legislature not too long ago. And I recently figured out why.

One afternoon, as I was out making deliveries, I had to drive past the state capital in Hartford. As I'm nearing the driveway of the Legislative Office Building, some asshole comes barreling out of the parking garage without bothering to see if anybody was coming up the street. If I hadn't hit my brakes in time, I'd have T-boned that moron.

Turns out, the moron in question was none other than Kevin Sullivan, the state senate's majority leader! I recognized him when he looked over at me in shock. Guess he must've suddenly realized that pulling out onto a busy street without looking first wasn't such a good idea.

Need I say more about why it still isn't illegal to simultaneously drive and talk on a cell phone in the Nutmeg State? :eyes:
