Maybe the problem is we are too quick to lock on to generalizations.
It broke my heart to sell my motorcycle because of cell phones. After riding a bike for over 45 years (and never dropping a bike), I lost the enjoyment of riding about the last 10 years after almost getting into several accidents by complete idiots that thought whatever was on their phone was more important than the lives of the other people on the road. It just wasn’t fun anymore having to assume everyone else on the road was looking at their phone instead of paying attention to driving. Where is the outrage? There is mothers against drinking and driving to protect their kids, how about mothers against using a phone and driving to protect their parents?
