Nice work, hope they all got booked !!
good on em for bustin up dickheads on phones but, IS THAT A GO-PRO OR SIMILAR MOUNTED TO HIS HELMET ????? fucken oath, I'd say. Thought that was in fact illegal........I hear riders are being booked for exactly the same thing....
What interests me most about the mobile phone while driving issue is that, while many non-riders moan about noisy Harley riders blah blah blah, we see first hand how driver inattention due to mobile phone use leads to cars not noticing we're there or cutting into our lane and so forth. Most of my fellow riders take those observations to heart and we do not use the phone while driving. Maybe we need to put more cagers on bikes so they can learn why a mobile phone while driving is not a good idea?!
PS: I read one study on inattentional blindness (as cognitive psychologists call it) that used eye tracking devices, and also measures of reaction times in simulated road situations, to measure whether all distractions are created equal. That is, many cagers say "oh, there is no difference between using a phone while driving and reaching for your coffee or fiddling with the stereo or kids screaming in the back seat". Why legislate against this one distraction, is the motto. But the studies showed that mobile phone use led to much greater "eye displacement" (from the road) and slower reaction times than any other distraction, by quite a wide margin. They could, of course, have just asked motorcycle riders about the bulls*** we see from cagers on phones!!!
Great to see that they are doing something like that and I think its a great idea to try and get those dumb ass drivers off their phone whilst driving. Its sad that society has turned into a bunch of moroons and they let those mobile phones rule their lives now. There should be something done to render mobile phones useless whilst driving in a moving vehicle.
Last year a friend of mine was killed when a person in another was texting whilst driving that person then drove on the wrong side of the road without even noticing till he hit my friends car head on and killed her.
Mobile phones do not rate very high with me even before my freind had the fatal accident.
