Be it a cell phone or friends. You have just learned to drive and are still nervous driving.[RANT]
When I'm on my motorcycle I get very nervous when I see someone on the phone and is behind me. I now have to divide my attention between the drivers ahead of me and the one on the cell phone behind me.

My brother got hit on his bike by a lady on a cell phone who was distracted... I've learned that when a biker keeps looking at you, it's not because he is trying to scare you, it's because you're scaring him....
FIRST is about family, making new friendships, belonging somewhere, doing something you love, and finding out what your real love is in life, so when you're old and wrinkly you can look back at high school and say "This is when I found myself." - Winged Wonder [more]
