I honked once and tapped brake pedal a few times just to illuminate the lights to try to wake her up. As I approached stopped traffic, I could see her looking down...I got right up to bumper of car in front before I stopped, but I still got bumped. At least she was embarrassed and a little contrite when we pulled over...I wasn't very nice, but she had hit my trailer hitch and I didnt have damage....hers was a scratch, but nothing worth reporting.
Geez.... young people and their phones....
I can't stand that. Yesterday, the light turns green and I can see them in front of me on their phone. I have to blare the horn for them to lift their eyes from their phone.
I thought to myself, maybe it's an emergency. But, if it was an emergency they wouldn't have texted and most likely would have called them.
Glad to hear you didn't have damage.
