So important in fact, that you need to read it, type a reply, and then send it out, all while sitting behind the wheel and honking impatiently at the person in front of you when driving! That was exactly what I encountered when I was at the car park last weekend. We were done with our shopping and was queuing for our turn to get out of the car park when the car behind me was honking at me to move just because I took a tad longer than usual to move off to that few meters ahead in the queue that was snaking around the car park. The irony is this. He was honking at me, but his eyes was busy on his phone. Either messaging his lover, or surfing something that is obviously important. And then revving his engine as a sign of annoyance when we get to the point in the queue where we split up to go to the various gantry to pay our parking charges. He sped off to the adjacent gantry, all the while, eyes still on the phone! Even when we exited the car park, at the traffic light outside, he was still fiddling with the phone! My gawd~~!

People, that's the way they are. They are blind to things around them, yet only concerned about their well being. If they are so impatient, they might as well walk or take public transport right? Furthermore he's not supposed to be using his mobile phone while he's driving and u ought to have video of him doing so, send it to the traffic police.. haha

If I video him, then I would be committing the same act of not concentrating on the road while behind the wheel liow loh! I am sure way better than that!

What that guy did was rude and dangerous because while he was texting, he could have done serious harm if he hit someone while speeding off without looking.
