Almost death by mobile phone

[Neil Choi]

Out and about in the daily Alfa, interesting things, like this one, happened.

Area looks familiar.......top end of Swanston Street....up near Melbourne Uni?

I've watched people walk off railway station platforms and twice prevented people walking in front of moving trams!  Not only is the pedestrian a temporary Australian the train or tram driver usually ends up unemployable after a couple of near misses or worse!

Those little white earphones annoy the shit out of me.  It's not just on the street; even in the supermarket you get these anti-social and self-isolating people who apparently can't shop without musical accompaniment.  What's worse is seeing drivers with them in.

Neil, I'm very dissappointed 
you were way to slow off the mark there 

The stats for mobile phones being the cause of motor vehicle collisions is staggering. I'm blatting around on a motor bike these days and you can spot most drivers that are using their phones a mile off. They bounce around in the lane, drive slower than the flow, brake lights flicker on off, sit idle at stops when flow moves off. Always give them a piece of my mind when I spot them...

Couldn't stop laughing when I read that, does it make me a bad person ?   

Always give them a piece of my mind when I spot them...

No doubt delivered in your shy, subtle manner . . . . . .
