Safety, Safety, Safety

The three things that you need to know about real estate are: location, location, location. Safety is the number one issue for cell phone calls. If you drive and talk, walk and talk, operate vehicles and talk, you are working yourself into a major accident.  I know that most people drive and talk (even though some states have laws against it) but even though driving and talking on a cell phone is a no-no it doesn’t seem to be enforced very aggressively by the police (unless you get into an accident, then it’s your fault automatically, sort of like when you have been drinking).

The people that really scare me on the road are the truckers that talk on their cell phones while driving.  I watched a trucker make a U turn a few days ago while on a state route in Florida (where it is suppose to be illegal to talk on a cell phone and drive) using one arm, make the turn, while simultaneously talking on his cell phone. What an idiot!

Look people, I know there are a lot of folks out there that are not very bright, some have even made it through grade school, without some much as a hiccup, but let's try to work on safety if we can't work on civility (being civil to one another).

For those people who think before they speak, please think before you start or continue talking on cell phone.  Ask this question -- is it safe?
