Always keep your head on a swivel

Said the excuse was that his phone slid off his lap onto the floor in the passenger seat.

When he was teaching me to drive my Pops stressed to me,"If it is smaller than a horse, don't swerve." and "No matter what you think, your Burger King order is shite already and it ain't worth wrecking to save it. Just scoop it up out of the floorboard when you get stopped."

I think he would have said the same thing about a damn cell phone.

Whew, guy was lucky he saw it coming, could have been worse. And people are stupid with their phones.

In 2002 I got run over in my front yard by a drunk driver at 4 pm on a Tuesday - the driver had no license - it was his 8th DUI - 67 year old still living with his mother - I was 150 ft from the road - first heard him coming, then turned my head (swivel) and saw him - tried to evade but was working on a hose and tripped - managed to push trunk of my body and head out of the way but he still ran over my legs and rolled me pretty good - thought I was a goner.

Thanks Honest Tune for reminding me - the folks at work starting calling me "roadkill" and that's why I use it for my TD ID -

If ever a username checked out, gotdamn.

That's a helluva war story, rk. One HELL of a war story.

Restitution for that muthafrucka would be mandatory lifetime weedeating of those crappy curve signs in my front yard.

Glad you’re alive to tell the story, hoss. Crazy how fragile life is. One of LSU’s all time GOAT’s in football was killed in his own yard cutting his grass, Eric Andolsek. A warrior cut down in his prime.

60 ain't that old man.

Depends on which morning I'm asked, and not quite 60 yet even (57 soon).

But for your point ... note the driver in OP gif appears to be a wee bit younger than 60. Perhaps the idea of recurrent testing is backwards and it's the young pups need it?

As for another posts idea regarding yanking licensing, note the OP says "driving under suspension". If ya don't have to have a valid license to start the engine and engage the transmission we'll only end up with anarchy on the roads as eventually everyone foregoes ever getting licensed. The odds of any individual getting into trouble over driving w/out a license are very, very, slim atm. Of course scanners like for plate numbers are just really getting off the ground. If databases will compile and collate to alert cops "car x" is owned by unlicensed/suspended person that would possibly put a crimp in some shenanigans. Especially if seizure of vehicles opeerated by unlicensed/suspended are allowed.
