Attempted car jacking? Seriously, can't you come up with a better excuse for using your cell phone while driving?
You have obviously never had people approach your vehicle with a gun, sticking it in your window or trying to open your door... And yes, attempted car jacking on 2 different occasions. Hopefully it never happens to you or your family.
To make it easier for you, here are just a couple of examples.
I have had to call 911 for various reasons throughout the years. Perhaps 6 months ago a person dressed in all black was standing on a curve, high in the middle of the junction at I275 and I4 about 5:00 in the morning... There is no easy way for a person to get there...
A fire up near our farm in a greatly wooded, rural area. Probably due to someone carelessly tossing out a cigarette.
I have witnessed many accidents and car fires throughout the years and called 911. Have you ever pulled people out of a church van that is on it side with fire starting to come out of the front fender wells? Do you need more examples or can you grasp the concept? Perhaps you have merely led a sheltered life.

Seriously? I haven't really figured out why we need them in the first place. Kind of handy, but definitely something I can easily live without.
Sorry, I was being facetious. I should have made that clearer. I really do not like talking on a phone anymore nor texting. Say what you need to say and hang up. I don't need to read a book, just make your point. (Just to clarify, this is what I tell others, not pertaining to you.)
