[ale] dialing on Android and driving will kill you and others.

[Lightner, Jeff]

So you're implying the sidewalk is NOT a driving lane?

Of course -- people used to be able to do this too, when they were
smart enough to learn how to use the rules, brakes and turn signals in
addition to the gas, wheel and horn.

Of course using a signal is now interpreted to the following driver as
"the blinking light indicates a hole to be filled not by the car with
the blinking light". 

I was once passed on the right at an intersection while I was signaling
a proper right turn in the right lane. Driver behind me jumped right and
sped around me as I was beginning the turn. Lucky for both I was looking
hard right (further than needed for the turn) and caught the motion in
my peripheral vision.

consumerism or hatred of the vulnerable, then the powerful can do as
they please, and those who survive will be left to contemplate the
outcome.
