I wish the person who rear ended me on my motorcycle while I was stopped for traffic was able to drive talk on her cell phone as well as some folks claim they can do.

Earlier down the road I observed the person who hit me weaving in and out of her lane, accelerating and decelerating. Only by the grace of God and probably some good luck did I survive a very bad accident. You can't talk and drive at the same time, or should I say talk and pay attention to driving at the same time.

Now some three months later, I still don't have the full use of my left hand as a result of a broken wrist I received after I was projected from zero to 45 MPH and then back to zero in a very short period of time. My motorcycle received more than $10,000 worth of damage, my medical bills are exceeding $10,000, and I have yet to settle on the "pain and suffering" issue. My protective clothing and helmet saved me from more serious injury, and possibly death. (And they want to ban fast food?)

Even if I was in a car, I still would have received serious injury.
