So it's it's it's the fact that they are doing everything else that the rest of us will not meet goals -- but the rest of us do when -- when we guilty distracted driving.
But they've got all those extra -- on -- -- won -- -- -- extra burdens.
Exactly and they're allowing that to do that you know you have the baby cry in the -- -- it's hard not to try to attended them you really need to pull over to the side of the road you know he can't be turner especially if you're in the car.

And the dude next to me how to full like big east -- phenomenon even a tabloid he's been with the small but something big like the new times spread across hysteria -- And inching forward I mean you know you but maybe you know gonna kill somebody and -- a heck of lot of damage if you get bump it -- five miles -- Exactly -- you might not kill somebody there or somebody happens we'll confront the carts walking through the slow traffic that -- you know the park traffic -- when satellite you could assimilate that a pedestrian but it is there's damage involved there as well.
Thousands of dollars to your cars was the please -- you're not always about getting hurt.
