1
00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:05.960
<v Speaker 1>It's night Side with Dan Ray. I'm telling easy bond video.

2
00:00:08.119 --> 00:00:11.080
<v Speaker 2>Thang you out, coming up on the ten o'clock news,

3
00:00:11.759 --> 00:00:14.160
<v Speaker 2>coming up after the ten o'clock news, I should say.

4
00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:18.399
<v Speaker 2>And we're coming up upon the tenth hour of this

5
00:00:19.440 --> 00:00:22.679
<v Speaker 2>day of actually it's the twenty I mean, think about

6
00:00:22.679 --> 00:00:24.559
<v Speaker 2>it's the twenty third hour of the day, but it's

7
00:00:24.600 --> 00:00:27.120
<v Speaker 2>ten o'clock. A simple as that, we keep it simple,

8
00:00:27.320 --> 00:00:29.359
<v Speaker 2>keep it simple. It's ten aweight. My name is Dan Ray.

9
00:00:30.239 --> 00:00:32.359
<v Speaker 2>So we just talked last hour about cell phones and

10
00:00:32.399 --> 00:00:35.799
<v Speaker 2>had some really great vocals. We're going to do the

11
00:00:35.880 --> 00:00:40.600
<v Speaker 2>same this hour, but a different topic, and I want

12
00:00:40.640 --> 00:00:46.880
<v Speaker 2>to talk about distracted driving. I will admit I can

13
00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:53.399
<v Speaker 2>be a distracted driver. I try not to be, but

14
00:00:54.200 --> 00:00:57.079
<v Speaker 2>there's a lot of ways you can be a distracted driver,

15
00:00:58.159 --> 00:01:04.519
<v Speaker 2>and frankly I should be. It's sort of related because

16
00:01:04.599 --> 00:01:06.719
<v Speaker 2>I should put the cell phone away, because if the

17
00:01:06.799 --> 00:01:12.079
<v Speaker 2>cell phone rings, my impulse is to use it. And

18
00:01:12.359 --> 00:01:15.400
<v Speaker 2>for a long time I thought to myself, well, talking

19
00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:18.359
<v Speaker 2>in the cell phone is the same as talking to

20
00:01:18.799 --> 00:01:22.840
<v Speaker 2>someone in the passenger seat. And while that might be true,

21
00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:25.680
<v Speaker 2>it's a lot easier to talk to someone in the

22
00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:28.959
<v Speaker 2>passenger seat by just saying, what do you think about

23
00:01:29.120 --> 00:01:31.319
<v Speaker 2>the Red Sox game last night? Or what do you

24
00:01:31.359 --> 00:01:34.079
<v Speaker 2>think about the Bruins the Bruins beat the Canadians. How

25
00:01:34.120 --> 00:01:36.280
<v Speaker 2>do you think Drake May is going to do this weekend?

26
00:01:36.840 --> 00:01:41.480
<v Speaker 2>As opposed to going through your phone list and either

27
00:01:41.599 --> 00:01:46.439
<v Speaker 2>punching in someone's number that you've memorized or scrolling and

28
00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:50.599
<v Speaker 2>finding their name and punching their number into their name.

29
00:01:51.599 --> 00:01:54.560
<v Speaker 2>We all probably do it. We all probably do it.

30
00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:57.280
<v Speaker 2>And there's a lot of bad drivers out there. Okay,

31
00:01:57.480 --> 00:02:00.840
<v Speaker 2>people who are speeding, you've seen them. Okay, people who tailgate,

32
00:02:00.959 --> 00:02:03.280
<v Speaker 2>We've talked about that. But I want to talk about

33
00:02:03.280 --> 00:02:07.280
<v Speaker 2>distracted driving. And I got to be honest with you.

34
00:02:07.359 --> 00:02:10.120
<v Speaker 2>I wish I could say I have never been distracted

35
00:02:10.199 --> 00:02:12.599
<v Speaker 2>while I was driving, but I think all of us

36
00:02:12.680 --> 00:02:19.879
<v Speaker 2>have been. Probably cell phone usage is the worst example

37
00:02:19.960 --> 00:02:23.400
<v Speaker 2>of distracted driving. Now, again, the commonality between these two hours,

38
00:02:23.479 --> 00:02:26.840
<v Speaker 2>obviously is cell phone usage. Cell phone usage by kids

39
00:02:26.879 --> 00:02:30.360
<v Speaker 2>in school when they should be being educated, when they

40
00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:33.960
<v Speaker 2>should be learning, and cell phone usage by us adults

41
00:02:34.520 --> 00:02:38.120
<v Speaker 2>while we're driving. So the first thing that I'd like

42
00:02:38.199 --> 00:02:44.360
<v Speaker 2>to do is invite you to call and admit tell

43
00:02:44.439 --> 00:02:47.240
<v Speaker 2>me that you've used your cell phone. I think most

44
00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:53.680
<v Speaker 2>people have. Is there a way that you have figured

45
00:02:53.719 --> 00:02:56.599
<v Speaker 2>out how to bring the cell phone with you but

46
00:02:56.840 --> 00:03:00.479
<v Speaker 2>not use it while you're driving? I mean, driving long

47
00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:04.919
<v Speaker 2>distances can be bored. But I think it's something that

48
00:03:05.039 --> 00:03:07.280
<v Speaker 2>we need to talk about, because if we're going to

49
00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:10.840
<v Speaker 2>criticize kids for bringing cell phones to school and being

50
00:03:10.879 --> 00:03:16.319
<v Speaker 2>distracted in class, we need to as adults. I think

51
00:03:16.400 --> 00:03:19.319
<v Speaker 2>fest up. And I'll I've fested up already, and I

52
00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:21.680
<v Speaker 2>hope you'll fest up as well. But in addition, I'd

53
00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:24.039
<v Speaker 2>love to find out from you what are some of

54
00:03:24.080 --> 00:03:27.199
<v Speaker 2>the other really weird stuff you've seen that have been

55
00:03:27.360 --> 00:03:31.120
<v Speaker 2>because it's only it's not just cell phones. I mean,

56
00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:35.240
<v Speaker 2>these numbers are are important. Consider this. About three thousand

57
00:03:35.319 --> 00:03:38.400
<v Speaker 2>people die in auto accidents due to distracted driving every year.

58
00:03:39.879 --> 00:03:42.759
<v Speaker 2>Thirty one and forty two people died because of distracted

59
00:03:42.840 --> 00:03:46.960
<v Speaker 2>driving in twenty twenty. There were twenty eight hundred and

60
00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:50.919
<v Speaker 2>eighty fatal accidents in twenty twenty involving a distracted driver.

61
00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:54.919
<v Speaker 2>Eight percent of fatal car accidents are due to distracted driving.

62
00:03:55.080 --> 00:03:58.360
<v Speaker 2>Nine nine people die every day from distracted driving. I mean,

63
00:03:58.439 --> 00:04:01.000
<v Speaker 2>these are numbers, These are real numbers, and there were

64
00:04:01.159 --> 00:04:05.280
<v Speaker 2>names people behind. In addition to other drivers, five hundred

65
00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:08.719
<v Speaker 2>and eighty seven pedestrians and cyclists were killed in distracted

66
00:04:08.800 --> 00:04:13.000
<v Speaker 2>driving automobile accidents in twenty twenty, and three hundred and

67
00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:16.199
<v Speaker 2>twenty four thousand, six hundred and fifty two were injured

68
00:04:16.600 --> 00:04:20.879
<v Speaker 2>in twenty twenty. These are statistics. There may be later statistics,

69
00:04:20.920 --> 00:04:25.120
<v Speaker 2>but these are the statistics that I have to use now.

70
00:04:25.839 --> 00:04:28.800
<v Speaker 2>Most distracted driving happens between six and eleven at night.

71
00:04:28.959 --> 00:04:31.680
<v Speaker 2>The least distracted driving occurs between six and nine in

72
00:04:31.720 --> 00:04:35.120
<v Speaker 2>the morning. It's a cell phone use was involved in

73
00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:38.560
<v Speaker 2>twelve percent of car accidents. That's a big number. That's

74
00:04:38.639 --> 00:04:45.279
<v Speaker 2>a big number. It does say that young people. In

75
00:04:45.439 --> 00:04:49.319
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty, people between the ages of twenty five and

76
00:04:49.399 --> 00:04:54.000
<v Speaker 2>thirty four were involved in the most distracted driving fatal accidents.

77
00:04:54.759 --> 00:04:57.120
<v Speaker 2>It's tough to kind of live with yourself after that

78
00:04:58.040 --> 00:05:00.759
<v Speaker 2>when you really do think about it. There's other things

79
00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:04.800
<v Speaker 2>that people do. What's the dumbest thing that you've ever

80
00:05:04.920 --> 00:05:08.920
<v Speaker 2>done while you were driving, or what's the dumbest thing

81
00:05:09.040 --> 00:05:12.040
<v Speaker 2>you saw someone else do. There are lots of ways

82
00:05:13.120 --> 00:05:19.079
<v Speaker 2>in which you can be distracted. Obviously, there's enough problems

83
00:05:19.160 --> 00:05:24.319
<v Speaker 2>out there to deal with. Then then it's more than

84
00:05:24.360 --> 00:05:26.839
<v Speaker 2>cell phones. I mean, if it was just cell phones,

85
00:05:26.879 --> 00:05:28.800
<v Speaker 2>you could focus on cell phones. But there are people

86
00:05:28.839 --> 00:05:32.240
<v Speaker 2>who put their makeup on. There are people who are

87
00:05:32.360 --> 00:05:35.120
<v Speaker 2>eating as they're driving. I've done that. I've done that.

88
00:05:36.600 --> 00:05:38.639
<v Speaker 2>There are people who have in the morning have a

89
00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:43.959
<v Speaker 2>cup of coffee. They drive through McDonald's and they go

90
00:05:44.120 --> 00:05:47.079
<v Speaker 2>ahead and they have their coffee in their hand, and

91
00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:49.600
<v Speaker 2>if they spill their coffee, yikes, that's going to distract

92
00:05:49.639 --> 00:05:50.160
<v Speaker 2>you a little bit.

93
00:05:50.959 --> 00:05:51.079
<v Speaker 3>Uh.

94
00:05:51.240 --> 00:05:56.720
<v Speaker 2>There are apparently three types of distracted driving. Visual distractions.

95
00:05:57.360 --> 00:05:59.279
<v Speaker 2>It cause you to take your eyes away from the road.

96
00:05:59.439 --> 00:06:02.439
<v Speaker 2>These can a GPS. Well, GPS is now part of it,

97
00:06:02.519 --> 00:06:04.560
<v Speaker 2>so I don't know that I would put a GPS

98
00:06:04.680 --> 00:06:07.759
<v Speaker 2>in that category, but I guess so looking at a billboard,

99
00:06:08.360 --> 00:06:10.000
<v Speaker 2>I guess we all look at billboards, but I think

100
00:06:10.040 --> 00:06:12.000
<v Speaker 2>what kind of used to that. There are a lot

101
00:06:12.079 --> 00:06:14.120
<v Speaker 2>of people who rubber neck and accident on the other

102
00:06:14.199 --> 00:06:17.000
<v Speaker 2>side of the road, and of course just checking out

103
00:06:17.040 --> 00:06:19.600
<v Speaker 2>scenery and looking at other cars surrounding you instead of

104
00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:23.959
<v Speaker 2>looking at what's in front of you. That's visual distractions.

105
00:06:25.120 --> 00:06:28.680
<v Speaker 2>There are manual distractions, and these are eating. As I mentioned,

106
00:06:28.759 --> 00:06:33.319
<v Speaker 2>while driving using your cell phone, even something as simple

107
00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:35.720
<v Speaker 2>as changing the radio station or reaching for something in

108
00:06:35.800 --> 00:06:39.199
<v Speaker 2>the car, all examples of manual distractions and then cognitive

109
00:06:39.240 --> 00:06:47.399
<v Speaker 2>distractions that take your mind off driving or worrying. They

110
00:06:47.480 --> 00:06:52.439
<v Speaker 2>all fall into this category. Now, look, I don't think

111
00:06:52.480 --> 00:06:56.240
<v Speaker 2>you'd be in the road without maybe daydreaming a little bit.

112
00:06:56.600 --> 00:07:02.959
<v Speaker 2>So we will focus on behavior that you've seen and

113
00:07:03.959 --> 00:07:06.000
<v Speaker 2>a little bit up phone lines a simple as that

114
00:07:06.199 --> 00:07:09.720
<v Speaker 2>six one, seven, two, five, four ten thirty six one seven,

115
00:07:09.879 --> 00:07:13.800
<v Speaker 2>nine three one ten thirty. Now again, cell phones, I

116
00:07:13.920 --> 00:07:18.920
<v Speaker 2>think are the commonality to these two hours, And we've

117
00:07:19.079 --> 00:07:24.839
<v Speaker 2>just been pretty critical of students, elementary school kids, junior

118
00:07:24.920 --> 00:07:29.959
<v Speaker 2>high school kids, and high school kids who can't separate

119
00:07:30.079 --> 00:07:35.879
<v Speaker 2>themselves from their cell phone while they're at school. Uh,

120
00:07:36.480 --> 00:07:41.879
<v Speaker 2>inability to do that hurts them, hurts themselves because they'll

121
00:07:41.959 --> 00:07:44.959
<v Speaker 2>miss a lesson, whether it's in a a in a

122
00:07:45.319 --> 00:07:48.879
<v Speaker 2>what I would call a building ball block, a subject

123
00:07:49.000 --> 00:07:51.199
<v Speaker 2>like math. If you don't, you know, you've got to

124
00:07:51.279 --> 00:07:53.480
<v Speaker 2>learn to add in order to figure out how to subtract.

125
00:07:53.560 --> 00:07:55.560
<v Speaker 2>You have to learn to multiply in order how to

126
00:07:55.639 --> 00:07:58.439
<v Speaker 2>figure out how to divide, and you have to learn

127
00:07:58.480 --> 00:08:01.199
<v Speaker 2>all of that to do things like algebra and geometry

128
00:08:01.240 --> 00:08:07.000
<v Speaker 2>and all the higher applications. But with cell phones in

129
00:08:07.079 --> 00:08:11.839
<v Speaker 2>your car, you know, you can get killed or you

130
00:08:11.879 --> 00:08:17.680
<v Speaker 2>can kill yourself. And I'm an offender. I'm not perfect

131
00:08:17.759 --> 00:08:21.439
<v Speaker 2>in any stretch. I'm an offender. Okay, I'm doing this

132
00:08:21.560 --> 00:08:26.240
<v Speaker 2>tonight and sort of criticizing myself because I'm hoping that

133
00:08:26.360 --> 00:08:30.839
<v Speaker 2>by criticizing myself on the radio publicly, I will force

134
00:08:30.959 --> 00:08:35.679
<v Speaker 2>myself to do less of it, or maybe do none

135
00:08:35.720 --> 00:08:37.879
<v Speaker 2>of it. I'd like to say to you, I'll never

136
00:08:38.000 --> 00:08:43.600
<v Speaker 2>use a cell phone again while driving. I don't know

137
00:08:44.080 --> 00:08:45.960
<v Speaker 2>how he will do that, but maybe I just have

138
00:08:46.080 --> 00:08:49.759
<v Speaker 2>to shut it off, leave it in the seat, allow

139
00:08:49.840 --> 00:08:53.120
<v Speaker 2>it to charge, or something like that. I'm just I'm serious.

140
00:08:53.200 --> 00:08:55.720
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to be on the phone. And if

141
00:08:55.799 --> 00:08:58.159
<v Speaker 2>something bad happened after having done an hour in the

142
00:08:58.240 --> 00:09:02.399
<v Speaker 2>radio like this, so that's my first topic. Hoppy to

143
00:09:02.480 --> 00:09:05.159
<v Speaker 2>this hour. If this topic doesn't work, and I think

144
00:09:05.200 --> 00:09:08.279
<v Speaker 2>it will, I have a third topic in my back pocket.

145
00:09:09.039 --> 00:09:11.279
<v Speaker 2>And uh we also have, of course, the twentieth hour

146
00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:13.320
<v Speaker 2>coming up, so stay with us. That is always, I

147
00:09:13.399 --> 00:09:15.159
<v Speaker 2>think one of the most enjoyable hours of the week,

148
00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:17.480
<v Speaker 2>because one is the last hour of the week But

149
00:09:17.639 --> 00:09:19.360

<v Speaker 2>kids listening. Okay, so that's all I gotta do.

<v Speaker 3>Wait, I can get so.

185
00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:05.000
<v Speaker 2>Let me ask you this hell? How long ago did

186
00:11:05.039 --> 00:11:05.480
<v Speaker 2>this happen?

187
00:11:06.919 --> 00:11:07.600
<v Speaker 5>Two years ago?

188
00:11:09.399 --> 00:11:11.000
<v Speaker 6>And right near?

189
00:11:12.559 --> 00:11:13.759
<v Speaker 2>How bad were your injuries?

190
00:11:15.080 --> 00:11:15.639
<v Speaker 6>Nearly dead?

191
00:11:15.679 --> 00:11:20.080
<v Speaker 5>If it was one second shorter, I'd be talking to

192
00:11:20.159 --> 00:11:22.159
<v Speaker 5>you and your peppies up in heaven.

193
00:11:24.639 --> 00:11:28.000
<v Speaker 2>Well, I'm glad you survived. Did you spend time in

194
00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:29.200
<v Speaker 2>the hospital.

195
00:11:28.879 --> 00:11:33.879
<v Speaker 5>Or went to where rehab idiotic and quincy?

196
00:11:34.200 --> 00:11:34.320
<v Speaker 6>Uh?

197
00:11:35.759 --> 00:11:38.120
<v Speaker 5>You know what happened there? They robbed me of all

198
00:11:38.200 --> 00:11:40.759
<v Speaker 5>my clothes in my wallet, so I was naked. I

199
00:11:40.840 --> 00:11:43.279
<v Speaker 5>had to get my kniees to come over bring me

200
00:11:43.600 --> 00:11:47.240
<v Speaker 5>supply clothes to leave. That's the kind of people we

201
00:11:47.360 --> 00:11:52.720
<v Speaker 5>deal with around this horrible earth. Maggots, maggots, maggots.

202
00:11:54.320 --> 00:11:57.600
<v Speaker 2>Okay, and that's that's a tough experience all around.

<v Speaker 5>Right now, I'm on the cell phone, but I'm really careful.

204
00:12:02.960 --> 00:12:05.960

<v Speaker 2>great nation, the District of Columbia. Hey, Patrick, welcome back.

222

<v Speaker 4>I gotta tell you always the newsman, aren't you always

<v Speaker 4>the newsman. You know, give me your number, you know,

225
00:13:08.960 --> 00:13:11.799
<v Speaker 4>a story. You're very good, Dan, you're very good.

226
00:13:12.679 --> 00:13:16.080
<v Speaker 2>Well. I always hated when I was in television. I

227
00:13:16.200 --> 00:13:20.080
<v Speaker 2>hated at the middle of the day when you realize

228
00:13:20.120 --> 00:13:22.080
<v Speaker 2>you didn't have a story of your own and you

229
00:13:22.159 --> 00:13:24.399
<v Speaker 2>had to take some assignment from the desk, which was,

230
00:13:24.759 --> 00:13:26.799
<v Speaker 2>you know, cover some story that you really didn't have

231
00:13:26.879 --> 00:13:30.120
<v Speaker 2>an interest in. It was like, oh, man, that made

232
00:13:30.159 --> 00:13:30.799
<v Speaker 2>a long day.

233
00:13:32.919 --> 00:13:35.919
<v Speaker 4>Well, we have tourists in Washington, d C.

234
00:13:36.440 --> 00:13:39.320
<v Speaker 2>Oh my goodness, Okay, okay, they're.

235
00:13:39.200 --> 00:13:42.480
<v Speaker 4>The most wonderful drivers that you could possibly deal with,

236
00:13:42.639 --> 00:13:46.360
<v Speaker 4>and especially when you start doing these circles, and especially

237
00:13:46.480 --> 00:13:49.639
<v Speaker 4>with the way Pennsylvania Avenue is between the White House

238
00:13:49.720 --> 00:13:54.120
<v Speaker 4>and the capital. My gosh, but this is a driving area.

239
00:13:54.639 --> 00:13:56.440
<v Speaker 4>I mean, we can be in Annapolis and then we'll

240
00:13:56.519 --> 00:13:58.840
<v Speaker 4>just go up to Montgomery County at Rockville and then

241
00:13:59.240 --> 00:14:01.320
<v Speaker 4>swing down through d C. And we'll end up in

242
00:14:01.399 --> 00:14:03.759
<v Speaker 4>northern Virginia. Then we'll go over on the other side.

243
00:14:04.159 --> 00:14:06.000
<v Speaker 4>I mean, we move all over the place here.

244
00:14:06.600 --> 00:14:10.039
<v Speaker 2>But well, here's the deal. In Washington, I've spent a

245
00:14:10.120 --> 00:14:12.399
<v Speaker 2>little bit of time in Washington over the years, and

246
00:14:13.279 --> 00:14:16.639
<v Speaker 2>I think it's a relatively easy town when you've been

247
00:14:16.679 --> 00:14:18.240
<v Speaker 2>there a while to get to know it, because it

248
00:14:18.320 --> 00:14:21.840
<v Speaker 2>is sort of a grid system. But when you're first there,

249
00:14:21.919 --> 00:14:26.080
<v Speaker 2>it's like where am I? You're overwhelmed. And if you're

250
00:14:26.320 --> 00:14:29.840
<v Speaker 2>going in there as a tourist, it can be overwhelming, don't.

251
00:14:29.679 --> 00:14:33.080
<v Speaker 4>You think, Yes, it does, yes, yes, And especially when

252
00:14:33.120 --> 00:14:36.840
<v Speaker 4>they step out in front of buses and get killed, which.

253
00:14:36.639 --> 00:14:39.320
<v Speaker 2>Is you know, that's one way to be overwhelmed.

254
00:14:39.320 --> 00:14:41.519
<v Speaker 4>I guess as that happen, that's one w Yeah, that's

255
00:14:41.559 --> 00:14:43.600
<v Speaker 4>one work do you every one? Well, here's here's something

256
00:14:43.759 --> 00:14:46.840
<v Speaker 4>just really interesting. Now I have. I have a lot

257
00:14:46.919 --> 00:14:49.799
<v Speaker 4>of good self will. I don't take my cell phone

258
00:14:49.840 --> 00:14:52.480
<v Speaker 4>with me out of the house. I know everybody, and

259
00:14:52.879 --> 00:14:54.879
<v Speaker 4>and it doesn't do me any good in Washington, d C.

260
00:14:55.039 --> 00:14:58.200
<v Speaker 4>To call nine one one anyway, because you're kind of

261
00:14:58.279 --> 00:15:00.679
<v Speaker 4>messed up. So you know, you're you got your on

262
00:15:00.799 --> 00:15:04.960
<v Speaker 4>your own right, and there's no reason for me to

263
00:15:05.080 --> 00:15:08.600
<v Speaker 4>have to talk on the phone. Because I remember walking

264
00:15:08.679 --> 00:15:10.399
<v Speaker 4>up to a corner and there's a whole bunch of

265
00:15:10.440 --> 00:15:12.639
<v Speaker 4>people and they're talking and talking, and none of them

266
00:15:12.679 --> 00:15:15.320
<v Speaker 4>were talking to one another. They were all on cell phones,

267
00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:17.960
<v Speaker 4>and I think that there's just missing so much of

268
00:15:18.080 --> 00:15:22.759
<v Speaker 4>life there in our nation's capital. To be among people,

269
00:15:23.039 --> 00:15:27.279
<v Speaker 4>but you're talking to somebody else who's not standing next

270
00:15:27.360 --> 00:15:31.480
<v Speaker 4>to you, And I think there's this disassociation that this

271
00:15:31.679 --> 00:15:33.559
<v Speaker 4>nasty cell phone does. And then when you put it

272
00:15:33.639 --> 00:15:38.000
<v Speaker 4>behind the wheel, you're asking for trouble. You're just asking

273
00:15:38.120 --> 00:15:38.600
<v Speaker 4>for trouble.

274
00:15:40.440 --> 00:15:43.600
<v Speaker 2>But real quick, of all of all the drivers that

275
00:15:43.720 --> 00:15:46.879
<v Speaker 2>you've that you've watched, Okay, what's the way. I'm trying

276
00:15:46.919 --> 00:15:49.639
<v Speaker 2>to get some examples of people. I mean, we've heard

277
00:15:49.639 --> 00:15:53.519
<v Speaker 2>about people eating as they're driving, and people who are

278
00:15:53.559 --> 00:15:58.559
<v Speaker 2>putting on makeup. Have you ever known someone doing something

279
00:15:58.600 --> 00:16:01.440
<v Speaker 2>and you'd say to yourself, oh my god, are they crazy?

280
00:16:02.480 --> 00:16:04.720
<v Speaker 4>Reading the newspaper on the Beltway?

281
00:16:05.639 --> 00:16:08.799
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, folks got to keep up with the daily

282
00:16:09.000 --> 00:16:10.480
<v Speaker 2>with the Washington Post, right.

283
00:16:13.480 --> 00:16:17.879
<v Speaker 4>But real quick, I went to United Parcel Service yesterday

284
00:16:18.679 --> 00:16:22.480
<v Speaker 4>to go with one of their step bands, to drive

285
00:16:22.639 --> 00:16:24.879
<v Speaker 4>one of their step bands and see what their driver

286
00:16:25.279 --> 00:16:30.320
<v Speaker 4>education and driver reinforcement program is. I am a much

287
00:16:30.480 --> 00:16:34.919
<v Speaker 4>better driver because of UPS. They put their drivers through

288
00:16:35.080 --> 00:16:39.000
<v Speaker 4>the good stuff and you can talk about safe driving

289
00:16:39.399 --> 00:16:41.960
<v Speaker 4>with your members of UPS. I had one of the

290
00:16:42.000 --> 00:16:46.600
<v Speaker 4>best discussions with with a trainer there, and they have

291
00:16:46.840 --> 00:16:49.840
<v Speaker 4>a program that you'll go through for five days about

292
00:16:49.879 --> 00:16:52.480
<v Speaker 4>being a good driver on one of those step bands.

293
00:16:53.639 --> 00:16:57.799
<v Speaker 4>And really, I mean, yeah, it was. It's impressive. It

294
00:16:58.000 --> 00:17:01.960
<v Speaker 4>is really impressive. Like you know, first of all they

295
00:17:02.159 --> 00:17:06.319
<v Speaker 4>are on their step bands. They just make it clear.

296
00:17:07.200 --> 00:17:10.039
<v Speaker 4>You look at your gauge and then you look out ahead,

297
00:17:10.319 --> 00:17:12.759
<v Speaker 4>you look at your mirror, you look out ahead. You

298
00:17:12.920 --> 00:17:16.519
<v Speaker 4>never go mirror gauge and then look out. You always

299
00:17:16.640 --> 00:17:19.680
<v Speaker 4>keep your eyes moving and keep the big picture out

300
00:17:19.720 --> 00:17:21.119
<v Speaker 4>in front of you and look ahead.

301
00:17:22.119 --> 00:17:25.319
<v Speaker 2>And that's pretty simple. But it makes a lot of sense.

302
00:17:25.559 --> 00:17:28.079
<v Speaker 2>How did you get involved in that? Was that something

303
00:17:28.160 --> 00:17:30.880
<v Speaker 2>that they gave to you because of your position or

304
00:17:31.599 --> 00:17:35.160
<v Speaker 2>is that something that's available to anyone for the general public.

305
00:17:36.359 --> 00:17:39.079
<v Speaker 4>If you wiggle your way in through their system, you

306
00:17:39.160 --> 00:17:39.599
<v Speaker 4>can get it.

307
00:17:40.079 --> 00:17:42.440
<v Speaker 2>Got you, okay? Play Well that's the truth. You know, Hey,

308
00:17:42.519 --> 00:17:46.519
<v Speaker 2>that's if you learned something. You're a pretty sharp guy.

309
00:17:46.799 --> 00:17:50.920
<v Speaker 2>I like that. Nothing nothing wrong with self education.

310
00:17:52.119 --> 00:17:55.480
<v Speaker 4>No, No, it was you know, going to going and

311
00:17:55.759 --> 00:17:58.960
<v Speaker 4>seeing ups and being with their drivers and actually driving

312
00:17:59.039 --> 00:18:04.359
<v Speaker 4>one of those step bans. The great Yeah, yeah, I.

313
00:18:04.400 --> 00:18:06.440
<v Speaker 2>Hope someone took a picture, so you have that as

314
00:18:06.480 --> 00:18:07.079
<v Speaker 2>a souvenir.

315
00:18:07.920 --> 00:18:10.079
<v Speaker 4>No, no, I don't need to even hears about myself.

316
00:18:10.599 --> 00:18:10.640
<v Speaker 3>No.

317
00:18:11.000 --> 00:18:15.480
<v Speaker 4>There, I was driving around the landover facilities, heading out

318
00:18:15.480 --> 00:18:18.519
<v Speaker 4>towards the you know the I called it Redskins Stadium,

319
00:18:18.599 --> 00:18:20.920
<v Speaker 4>but you know we don't call it Redskins Stadium anymore,

320
00:18:21.400 --> 00:18:22.519
<v Speaker 4>and driving up all.

321
00:18:22.720 --> 00:18:25.000
<v Speaker 2>Those fans are looking and change their name back now

322
00:18:25.079 --> 00:18:27.960
<v Speaker 2>that they're winning too. They they've got a great young

323
00:18:28.079 --> 00:18:31.559
<v Speaker 2>quarterback and they're winning. We should be so lucky here

324
00:18:31.640 --> 00:18:32.240
<v Speaker 2>in New England.

325
00:18:33.440 --> 00:18:35.240
<v Speaker 4>Well, you had your run. You had your run.

326
00:18:35.480 --> 00:18:37.319
<v Speaker 2>We did. It was a good run. It's a good run.

327
00:18:37.359 --> 00:18:40.799
<v Speaker 2>We're gonna get another one starting that run though. All right, Patrick,

328
00:18:40.839 --> 00:18:44.680
<v Speaker 2>I gotta let you run. Washington, d C. Corresponding checking

329
00:18:44.720 --> 00:18:47.480
<v Speaker 2>it in timely fashion. Thanks Bud. I appreciate it as always.

330
00:18:47.519 --> 00:18:50.799
<v Speaker 2>You know, they have a great weekend, Happy Indigenous People's

331
00:18:50.880 --> 00:18:53.480
<v Speaker 2>Day or happy and by the way, all seriousness, I

332
00:18:53.519 --> 00:18:56.720
<v Speaker 2>want to wish happy on coport to you know, members

333
00:18:56.759 --> 00:18:58.920
<v Speaker 2>of my audience who have the Jewish faith. This is

334
00:18:59.559 --> 00:19:02.920
<v Speaker 2>a great weekend celebration for them with family and friends.

335
00:19:03.000 --> 00:19:05.599
<v Speaker 2>And I know many of them are not listening tonight,

336
00:19:05.680 --> 00:19:08.519
<v Speaker 2>but I hope that they realize that they are in

337
00:19:08.599 --> 00:19:09.119
<v Speaker 2>our thoughts.

338
00:19:09.279 --> 00:19:10.200
<v Speaker 6>And that's right.

339
00:19:10.240 --> 00:19:11.640
<v Speaker 4>The banks will be closed on Monday.

340
00:19:12.319 --> 00:19:16.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's all. Well, it is a holiday, but we

341
00:19:16.880 --> 00:19:19.799
<v Speaker 2>don't get it as a I think everything's closed on Monday.

342
00:19:19.799 --> 00:19:21.839
<v Speaker 2>I think it's a national holiday. Some people are going

343
00:19:21.920 --> 00:19:25.279
<v Speaker 2>to celebrate Columbus Day and some people will celebrate Indigenous

344
00:19:25.400 --> 00:19:30.160
<v Speaker 2>People's Day. So whatever, we don't at iHeart it is

345
00:19:30.240 --> 00:19:34.279
<v Speaker 2>not a recognized company company holiday at all. So I'll

346
00:19:34.319 --> 00:19:37.240
<v Speaker 2>be working Monday night. We'll talk to you Monday, right, Thanks, Patrick,

347
00:19:37.359 --> 00:19:40.039
<v Speaker 2>thanks man, talk to you soon. Have a great break,

348
00:19:40.119 --> 00:19:43.200
<v Speaker 2>have a great one. Thanks, have a good weekend. Okay,

349
00:19:43.400 --> 00:19:47.279
<v Speaker 2>here comes the news, and after the news we will

350
00:19:47.319 --> 00:19:50.279
<v Speaker 2>return talking about distracted driving. I'm looking for some people

351
00:19:50.319 --> 00:19:53.640
<v Speaker 2>who will fest up Harold fest up about his distracted driving,

352
00:19:53.720 --> 00:19:56.599
<v Speaker 2>even well about him driving on a cell phone. You

353
00:19:56.640 --> 00:19:58.000
<v Speaker 2>can call me in a cell phone and tell me

354
00:19:58.079 --> 00:20:01.200
<v Speaker 2>what you think. Maybe again, I don't want to lose

355
00:20:01.240 --> 00:20:03.559
<v Speaker 2>an audience, but I just think we have to be

356
00:20:03.680 --> 00:20:06.920
<v Speaker 2>as careful as we possibly can be, because that one

357
00:20:07.039 --> 00:20:09.559
<v Speaker 2>mistake can really come back to hurt someone else or

358
00:20:09.640 --> 00:20:14.000
<v Speaker 2>hurt yourself, and also be a terrible burden to carry

359
00:20:14.039 --> 00:20:15.799
<v Speaker 2>with you. With you for the rest of your life.

360
00:20:15.880 --> 00:20:17.000
<v Speaker 2>Back on Nightside after this.

361
00:20:17.799 --> 00:20:22.440
<v Speaker 1>It's Night Side with Dan Ray Boston's news radio.

362
00:20:23.799 --> 00:20:26.039
<v Speaker 2>Let's get rolling. He're going to go to Robert and Wellesley.

363
00:20:26.119 --> 00:20:27.240
<v Speaker 2>Robert next on Nightside.

364
00:20:27.279 --> 00:20:32.559
<v Speaker 7>Welcome, good evening, Dan, interesting topic, interesting show as usual.

365
00:20:33.720 --> 00:20:37.319
<v Speaker 7>I've found Patrick's comments very interesting and good suggestions. I'm

366
00:20:37.359 --> 00:20:38.799
<v Speaker 7>going to try and pick up on some of those.

367
00:20:39.000 --> 00:20:40.319
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, good ideas.

368
00:20:41.279 --> 00:20:45.160
<v Speaker 7>I think that you're probably basic. You must be basically

369
00:20:45.279 --> 00:20:48.039
<v Speaker 7>a conscientious driver. And I had the shows and the

370
00:20:48.119 --> 00:20:52.480
<v Speaker 7>fact that you're entertaining this topic, and I think I

371
00:20:53.359 --> 00:20:56.440
<v Speaker 7>thought of myself as being a conscientious driver. But I've

372
00:20:56.480 --> 00:20:59.799
<v Speaker 7>found times when I think I've been, you know, overlooked

373
00:21:00.680 --> 00:21:03.400
<v Speaker 7>a speed limit sign or some some road sign or

374
00:21:04.119 --> 00:21:06.480
<v Speaker 7>and that wasn't paying. And I think that's something that

375
00:21:06.559 --> 00:21:10.599
<v Speaker 7>can happen. And they talk about highway hypnosis. I think

376
00:21:10.680 --> 00:21:14.519
<v Speaker 7>that routine driving can also cause something that's a little

377
00:21:14.519 --> 00:21:17.400
<v Speaker 7>bit like highway hypnosis. Is kind of a transfer something

378
00:21:17.440 --> 00:21:20.480
<v Speaker 7>that you that can cause someone if we take it,

379
00:21:20.920 --> 00:21:23.039
<v Speaker 7>If we take things too for granted, we can wind

380
00:21:23.119 --> 00:21:26.200
<v Speaker 7>up missing something or some event on the on the road,

381
00:21:26.319 --> 00:21:29.119
<v Speaker 7>something that's happening, or be less less alert than what

382
00:21:29.200 --> 00:21:31.680
<v Speaker 7>you should be. Do you think that could be the case?

383
00:21:32.279 --> 00:21:36.680
<v Speaker 2>I do, and you use the Great Highway hypnosis. I'm

384
00:21:36.759 --> 00:21:40.000
<v Speaker 2>not a great long distance driver. I don't like heavy

385
00:21:40.039 --> 00:21:42.759
<v Speaker 2>to drive, you know, drive to New York or something

386
00:21:42.880 --> 00:21:45.200
<v Speaker 2>like that. I would much prefer just to, you know,

387
00:21:45.359 --> 00:21:47.200
<v Speaker 2>take a train down in New York because it's not

388
00:21:47.440 --> 00:21:51.759
<v Speaker 2>worth going. Those two hundred and twenty miles in the

389
00:21:51.880 --> 00:21:54.599
<v Speaker 2>last thirty miles getting in or out of New York

390
00:21:54.640 --> 00:21:58.599
<v Speaker 2>City are just brutal. So, but also just driving on

391
00:21:58.880 --> 00:22:01.559
<v Speaker 2>the mass Turned Pike, the main roads, it can be

392
00:22:01.640 --> 00:22:06.119
<v Speaker 2>pretty boring. I mean it, you know, turn the radio up,

393
00:22:08.119 --> 00:22:08.920
<v Speaker 2>keep working back.

394
00:22:09.000 --> 00:22:11.920
<v Speaker 7>What do you do to so? What do you do

395
00:22:12.039 --> 00:22:16.240
<v Speaker 7>to make it interesting? I guess there's because they say

396
00:22:16.279 --> 00:22:18.640
<v Speaker 7>there's nothing worse than a convert. At some point along

397
00:22:18.680 --> 00:22:21.839
<v Speaker 7>the way, I sort of became a convert to focus driving,

398
00:22:22.359 --> 00:22:24.200
<v Speaker 7>which I think is probably a little bit like what

399
00:22:24.599 --> 00:22:26.039
<v Speaker 7>Patrick was talking.

400
00:22:26.400 --> 00:22:28.200
<v Speaker 2>I'll understand that. Well. I think you got to you

401
00:22:28.279 --> 00:22:30.920
<v Speaker 2>got to pay attention. I told my kids, and of course,

402
00:22:31.559 --> 00:22:33.640
<v Speaker 2>you know it's easy for a parent to tell their kids.

403
00:22:33.720 --> 00:22:35.640
<v Speaker 2>I told them when they started driving, I said, this,

404
00:22:36.119 --> 00:22:39.039
<v Speaker 2>you know, is the most dangerous thing you'll ever do

405
00:22:39.200 --> 00:22:43.039
<v Speaker 2>in your life unless you join the Marines. Okay, when

406
00:22:43.039 --> 00:22:45.319
<v Speaker 2>you think about it, you're driving down the road with

407
00:22:45.400 --> 00:22:49.559
<v Speaker 2>this two tons of steel going from sixty sixty five

408
00:22:49.680 --> 00:22:53.039
<v Speaker 2>seventy miles an hour, and I used to emphasize to

409
00:22:53.119 --> 00:22:56.440
<v Speaker 2>them that if you're driving sixty miles an hour. I

410
00:22:56.599 --> 00:22:59.839
<v Speaker 2>learned this in drivers' education a long time ago. You

411
00:23:00.039 --> 00:23:02.240
<v Speaker 2>know how many feet you're traveling per second if you're

412
00:23:02.240 --> 00:23:03.519
<v Speaker 2>going sixty miles an hour.

413
00:23:05.519 --> 00:23:07.960
<v Speaker 7>I could calculate that, but why don't you tell me?

414
00:23:08.440 --> 00:23:12.720
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I know what it is, and you can calculate it.

415
00:23:13.039 --> 00:23:15.720
<v Speaker 2>It's eighty eight feet a second. That means, if you're

416
00:23:15.759 --> 00:23:20.640
<v Speaker 2>going sixty miles an hour, you can drive from one

417
00:23:20.880 --> 00:23:24.160
<v Speaker 2>end of the football field almost to the other end

418
00:23:24.200 --> 00:23:26.480
<v Speaker 2>of the footbric for three seconds.

419
00:23:27.240 --> 00:23:29.160
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, that's an important fact.

420
00:23:29.680 --> 00:23:31.559
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it just kind of puts it in some context.

421
00:23:31.640 --> 00:23:34.720
<v Speaker 2>That's all you make it. It makes it more visual.

422
00:23:35.440 --> 00:23:36.039
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, right.

423
00:23:37.400 --> 00:23:39.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm probably a conscientious of driver as well. What's the

424
00:23:40.000 --> 00:23:42.759
<v Speaker 2>worst thing you've seen of anybody, the stupidest thing you've

425
00:23:42.799 --> 00:23:44.759
<v Speaker 2>seen someone doing while you're driving.

426
00:23:45.759 --> 00:23:48.880
<v Speaker 7>Well, I don't know if you think this was I'm

427
00:23:48.920 --> 00:23:51.400
<v Speaker 7>distracted driving or not, but I was on a highway.

428
00:23:51.400 --> 00:23:53.599
<v Speaker 7>I think it was one twenty eight and I was

429
00:23:53.839 --> 00:23:56.720
<v Speaker 7>sort of trapped in traffic, and the fellow behind me,

430
00:23:57.119 --> 00:23:59.319
<v Speaker 7>I know, whether it's on medication or what, he would

431
00:23:59.440 --> 00:24:02.119
<v Speaker 7>drive up. They almost touched the back of my car

432
00:24:02.240 --> 00:24:04.160
<v Speaker 7>and then slow down and then drive up again. It

433
00:24:04.200 --> 00:24:06.240
<v Speaker 7>was almost it almost seemed like he was nodding off

434
00:24:06.720 --> 00:24:09.480
<v Speaker 7>at the wheel and I couldn't get out. I couldn't.

435
00:24:09.480 --> 00:24:12.480
<v Speaker 7>I'd put on emergency lights. I couldn't get out of

436
00:24:12.559 --> 00:24:14.279
<v Speaker 7>I was trapped in traffic. I couldn't get out in

437
00:24:14.319 --> 00:24:18.319
<v Speaker 7>the other land to get away from. So there a

438
00:24:18.359 --> 00:24:19.319
<v Speaker 7>few other things like that.

439
00:24:20.359 --> 00:24:22.839
<v Speaker 2>I was stopped at a traffic light. Oh, I don't know.

440
00:24:23.039 --> 00:24:25.599
<v Speaker 2>Five or six years ago, my wife and I had

441
00:24:25.680 --> 00:24:28.759
<v Speaker 2>gone to a fundraiser for it was actually for Zoo

442
00:24:28.839 --> 00:24:31.240
<v Speaker 2>New England in Cambridge, and we were on Memorial Drive

443
00:24:31.839 --> 00:24:34.200
<v Speaker 2>and we were stopped at one of the traffic lights

444
00:24:34.240 --> 00:24:36.599
<v Speaker 2>of Memorial Drive and all of a sudden, ball boom,

445
00:24:36.920 --> 00:24:37.960
<v Speaker 2>we get hit from behind.

446
00:24:38.640 --> 00:24:38.720
<v Speaker 1>Uh.

447
00:24:38.920 --> 00:24:41.279
<v Speaker 2>There wasn't a lot of damage. I mean there was some,

448
00:24:41.559 --> 00:24:44.359
<v Speaker 2>but not It wasn't like the car was caped in,

449
00:24:44.440 --> 00:24:45.480
<v Speaker 2>but it was quite a jolt.

450
00:24:46.240 --> 00:24:46.359
<v Speaker 6>Uh.

451
00:24:46.680 --> 00:24:50.160
<v Speaker 2>And now whenever I come to a traffic light and

452
00:24:50.240 --> 00:24:53.839
<v Speaker 2>I'm stopping because it's red. I'm always looking in the

453
00:24:53.920 --> 00:24:56.480
<v Speaker 2>rear view mirror and making sure that that person who's

454
00:24:56.519 --> 00:25:01.480
<v Speaker 2>coming up behind me is slowing down, because, you know,

455
00:25:02.000 --> 00:25:05.559
<v Speaker 2>I think that if I thought that I'm sitting there

456
00:25:05.640 --> 00:25:09.279
<v Speaker 2>in that red light, and I think that this person

457
00:25:09.359 --> 00:25:11.599
<v Speaker 2>behind me is either asleep at the wheel or not

458
00:25:11.720 --> 00:25:15.160
<v Speaker 2>paying attention, and they're gonna rim into me again. If

459
00:25:15.200 --> 00:25:16.880
<v Speaker 2>it was a traffic light but there was nothing coming

460
00:25:16.920 --> 00:25:18.599
<v Speaker 2>either way, I'm going through it. And I know that

461
00:25:18.759 --> 00:25:21.519
<v Speaker 2>technically you're breaking the law, but I'm just telling you

462
00:25:21.680 --> 00:25:24.640
<v Speaker 2>that I'm having been hit once stopped at a traffic light.

463
00:25:24.720 --> 00:25:27.119
<v Speaker 2>It's not a feeling I want to enjoy again.

464
00:25:27.359 --> 00:25:31.559
<v Speaker 7>Oh, I would say, I would say, I think that

465
00:25:31.599 --> 00:25:33.319
<v Speaker 7>would Yeah, thank you very.

466
00:25:33.240 --> 00:25:37.799
<v Speaker 2>Much, have a great weekend. Okay, let me go next

467
00:25:37.839 --> 00:25:40.480
<v Speaker 2>to kN What did I do there? Rob? What the

468
00:25:40.559 --> 00:25:43.079
<v Speaker 2>heck did I do? Okay, I got wrong, hit the

469
00:25:43.119 --> 00:25:45.519
<v Speaker 2>wrong button. Let's go to Ken in Hudson, Ken next

470
00:25:45.559 --> 00:25:46.119
<v Speaker 2>on Nightside.

471
00:25:46.119 --> 00:25:49.119
<v Speaker 6>How are you good? How are you good?

472
00:25:49.160 --> 00:25:50.839
<v Speaker 2>I have no idea what I did. I almost took

473
00:25:50.880 --> 00:25:51.720
<v Speaker 2>myself off the air.

474
00:25:51.759 --> 00:25:56.200
<v Speaker 6>I think I was just it's getting late. Yeah, I

475
00:25:56.359 --> 00:25:58.400
<v Speaker 6>just wanted to come and like I used to go

476
00:25:58.559 --> 00:26:01.440
<v Speaker 6>to the kind of when you failed off for business.

477
00:26:01.960 --> 00:26:05.240
<v Speaker 6>And one day on my way to work during rush hour,

478
00:26:06.079 --> 00:26:08.839
<v Speaker 6>I was passed on the left side by a woman

479
00:26:08.960 --> 00:26:12.559
<v Speaker 6>that was reading like a tabloid newspaper. And I saw

480
00:26:12.759 --> 00:26:14.759
<v Speaker 6>this and I said, my god, and then I started

481
00:26:14.799 --> 00:26:17.839
<v Speaker 6>honking the horn, and she just kept the paper up

482
00:26:17.880 --> 00:26:20.880
<v Speaker 6>in her hands, and I think she actually accelerated out

483
00:26:20.920 --> 00:26:24.200
<v Speaker 6>of the way, you know, on like on a five

484
00:26:24.359 --> 00:26:28.319
<v Speaker 6>lane in each direction highway, you know. And then way

485
00:26:28.400 --> 00:26:32.599
<v Speaker 6>back in high school, there was one of the bus drivers,

486
00:26:32.920 --> 00:26:35.480
<v Speaker 6>well we used to look in the rear view mirror

487
00:26:35.519 --> 00:26:39.359
<v Speaker 6>because we were a pretty rowdy bus crowd and and

488
00:26:39.880 --> 00:26:41.480
<v Speaker 6>you know, and I'm saying, my god, you know, there's

489
00:26:41.519 --> 00:26:44.319
<v Speaker 6>a there's a bus full of kids and she's looking

490
00:26:44.359 --> 00:26:47.400
<v Speaker 6>in the rear view mirror to see who's making, you know,

491
00:26:47.599 --> 00:26:50.480
<v Speaker 6>noise in the back. And I said, well, either you know,

492
00:26:50.599 --> 00:26:53.079
<v Speaker 6>either one of these cases, I mean could injure a

493
00:26:53.200 --> 00:26:53.880
<v Speaker 6>lot of people.

494
00:26:54.559 --> 00:26:58.880
<v Speaker 2>And it was the kids that were causing the distraction.

495
00:26:59.599 --> 00:27:03.039
<v Speaker 2>I mean, she became a distracted bus driver because of

496
00:27:03.160 --> 00:27:03.960
<v Speaker 2>the kids in the bus.

497
00:27:04.279 --> 00:27:08.759
<v Speaker 6>Interestingly enough, well allegedly we were we were out again.

498
00:27:10.039 --> 00:27:13.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it was kind of on school buses. What don't

499
00:27:13.319 --> 00:27:14.920
<v Speaker 2>you have a school buses seatbelts.

500
00:27:16.000 --> 00:27:18.359
<v Speaker 6>That's true, there's no seatbelts.

501
00:27:17.920 --> 00:27:20.000
<v Speaker 2>On school buses. What are we thinking. I know that

502
00:27:20.240 --> 00:27:22.400
<v Speaker 2>they don't want to have kids get into a school

503
00:27:22.400 --> 00:27:24.319
<v Speaker 2>bus with on fire and cock it out of the

504
00:27:24.359 --> 00:27:27.079
<v Speaker 2>seat belt. I think that is what the theory is.

505
00:27:27.200 --> 00:27:29.720
<v Speaker 2>But boys, sounds like a pretty dangerous theory.

506
00:27:29.759 --> 00:27:32.240
<v Speaker 6>Well, yeah, it would be a lot more saying with seatbelts.

507
00:27:32.400 --> 00:27:34.359
<v Speaker 6>I agree with that. And you know, I think the

508
00:27:34.519 --> 00:27:38.839
<v Speaker 6>chances of the bus igniting would would be pretty minimal

509
00:27:38.960 --> 00:27:45.720
<v Speaker 6>compared to getting thrown around. Yeah. And then another time

510
00:27:46.000 --> 00:27:50.359
<v Speaker 6>I was literally it was on a you know one

511
00:27:51.039 --> 00:27:54.319
<v Speaker 6>in Natick, and I was just waiting for the oncoming

512
00:27:54.480 --> 00:27:56.200
<v Speaker 6>traffic to clear out of the way so I could

513
00:27:56.200 --> 00:27:59.160
<v Speaker 6>take a left into my driveway and some guy behind

514
00:27:59.240 --> 00:28:02.720
<v Speaker 6>me hit my car and I went. I literally ended

515
00:28:02.799 --> 00:28:05.160
<v Speaker 6>up in the backseat of my car and I went

516
00:28:05.319 --> 00:28:09.119
<v Speaker 6>across the lane and I ended up on a boulder.

517
00:28:09.519 --> 00:28:13.039
<v Speaker 6>The car ended up on a boulder in the neighbor's yard.

518
00:28:14.839 --> 00:28:18.000
<v Speaker 2>And that that experience, that that has to be a

519
00:28:18.160 --> 00:28:21.119
<v Speaker 2>twenty ten thousand dollars accident at least.

520
00:28:21.680 --> 00:28:23.920
<v Speaker 6>Well, yeah, that that was that was not good for

521
00:28:24.039 --> 00:28:28.400
<v Speaker 6>the car at all and you know, I got out

522
00:28:28.400 --> 00:28:32.039
<v Speaker 6>of the car okay, and the the you know, the

523
00:28:32.240 --> 00:28:34.400
<v Speaker 6>paramedics showed up and they asked me if I needed

524
00:28:34.519 --> 00:28:37.319
<v Speaker 6>to go to the hospital, and I declined it. But

525
00:28:37.480 --> 00:28:41.519
<v Speaker 6>I had one heck of a whiplash, you know. For

526
00:28:41.640 --> 00:28:42.880
<v Speaker 6>the next couple of ys hit.

527
00:28:43.279 --> 00:28:45.480
<v Speaker 2>The guy that hit you the woman versus that hit you,

528
00:28:45.599 --> 00:28:46.200
<v Speaker 2>did they stop?

529
00:28:48.559 --> 00:28:50.279
<v Speaker 6>Yeah? I think so? Yeah, I think so because I

530
00:28:50.319 --> 00:28:53.920
<v Speaker 6>think that car was damaged. But my roommates, you know,

531
00:28:54.039 --> 00:28:56.440
<v Speaker 6>heard the accident. They came out of the house and

532
00:28:57.039 --> 00:28:59.039
<v Speaker 6>they said they could see like, you know, cancer beer

533
00:28:59.119 --> 00:29:04.599
<v Speaker 6>in the sky's car and you know, I don't know. Yeah,

534
00:29:05.240 --> 00:29:07.200
<v Speaker 6>so I don't know. And you know, it was daylight,

535
00:29:07.440 --> 00:29:10.920
<v Speaker 6>so this guy is obviously starting his weekend early. But yeah,

536
00:29:11.000 --> 00:29:12.920
<v Speaker 6>I mean there's this I think it's good that you

537
00:29:13.000 --> 00:29:15.359
<v Speaker 6>have in the show that has you know, points out

538
00:29:15.359 --> 00:29:18.000
<v Speaker 6>you know, people after they've been driving away, they get

539
00:29:18.079 --> 00:29:21.519
<v Speaker 6>kind of nonchalant and they just do stupid things. And

540
00:29:21.599 --> 00:29:24.440
<v Speaker 6>I think reminding people that you're having you're not the

541
00:29:24.519 --> 00:29:26.680
<v Speaker 6>only one on the road. There's other people around you

542
00:29:27.160 --> 00:29:30.680
<v Speaker 6>that it's important to, you know, stay attention if you're driving, drive,

543
00:29:30.839 --> 00:29:34.359
<v Speaker 6>don't do other things. You know, and it's just it's

544
00:29:34.440 --> 00:29:37.519
<v Speaker 6>just really disappointing because you know, I'm sure my my

545
00:29:37.880 --> 00:29:40.200
<v Speaker 6>story reflects out of other people's stories.

546
00:29:40.400 --> 00:29:42.440
<v Speaker 2>I'll bet, I'll bet that there are plenty of people

547
00:29:42.480 --> 00:29:45.240
<v Speaker 2>who are identifying with your story. Ken. I love the story.

565
00:30:32.880 --> 00:30:35.200
<v Speaker 8>Okay, Dan, how are you good?

566
00:30:35.240 --> 00:30:35.960
<v Speaker 2>Sir? What's going on.

567
00:30:37.759 --> 00:30:39.200
<v Speaker 6>Well, my.

568
00:30:41.079 --> 00:30:44.799
<v Speaker 8>View on this is that, well, to answer your question,

569
00:30:44.920 --> 00:30:47.799
<v Speaker 8>the most distracted thing I ever did was drinking behind

570
00:30:47.839 --> 00:30:52.440
<v Speaker 8>the wheel actually, you know, having an open container and

571
00:30:52.640 --> 00:30:54.799
<v Speaker 8>just drinking some driving down the road.

572
00:30:55.240 --> 00:30:59.200
<v Speaker 2>But my opinion, gee, I don't know how long ago that,

573
00:30:59.319 --> 00:31:01.759
<v Speaker 2>but that was accepted a long time ago. It was

574
00:31:01.759 --> 00:31:04.400
<v Speaker 2>almost like that, yeah right if passion and people don't

575
00:31:04.480 --> 00:31:09.039
<v Speaker 2>understand that anymore. But mothers again, driving kind of change that,

576
00:31:09.279 --> 00:31:10.200
<v Speaker 2>you know a little bit.

577
00:31:12.000 --> 00:31:16.319
<v Speaker 8>So my my view on this is that I almost

578
00:31:16.400 --> 00:31:19.559
<v Speaker 8>everyone is either even if they're not looking at a

579
00:31:19.640 --> 00:31:22.920
<v Speaker 8>cell phone or playing with their makeup or something, you know, uh,

580
00:31:23.559 --> 00:31:25.880
<v Speaker 8>their mind could still be somewhere else, so they may

581
00:31:25.960 --> 00:31:29.599
<v Speaker 8>be distracted. And uh so between the people that are

582
00:31:29.960 --> 00:31:33.119
<v Speaker 8>there driving you know, just disobedient to the law and

583
00:31:33.240 --> 00:31:36.319
<v Speaker 8>the ones that are distracted, I figure, everybody's got something

584
00:31:36.440 --> 00:31:39.759
<v Speaker 8>going on and I can't control it. I can't stop

585
00:31:39.880 --> 00:31:44.839
<v Speaker 8>them from being distracted or disobedient, but I just can

586
00:31:45.000 --> 00:31:49.720
<v Speaker 8>be defense, you know, stay defensive. And there's a number

587
00:31:49.759 --> 00:31:53.119
<v Speaker 8>of different defensive driving techniques, but the best one I

588
00:31:53.200 --> 00:31:57.000
<v Speaker 8>ever learned was uh, you know, California Highway Patrol defensive

589
00:31:57.079 --> 00:32:00.640
<v Speaker 8>driving course. They taught me about this thing called the

590
00:32:00.720 --> 00:32:06.519
<v Speaker 8>space cushion. And to me, the space cushion is you know,

591
00:32:06.640 --> 00:32:09.599
<v Speaker 8>and sometimes the space cushion is behind me, and so

592
00:32:09.720 --> 00:32:11.240
<v Speaker 8>I just need to slow down a little bit to

593
00:32:11.279 --> 00:32:13.960
<v Speaker 8>get into it. Sometimes in front of me, so I

594
00:32:14.000 --> 00:32:17.279
<v Speaker 8>got up. But they taught us about the space cushion,

595
00:32:17.920 --> 00:32:20.200
<v Speaker 8>and it's kind of a funny concept when you think

596
00:32:20.200 --> 00:32:24.440
<v Speaker 8>about it, but the space cushion is very to me.

597
00:32:24.599 --> 00:32:28.240
<v Speaker 8>That's kind of my that's my main tactic that I use.

598
00:32:28.440 --> 00:32:30.279
<v Speaker 2>So what you mean is, don't tailgate the guy in

599
00:32:30.359 --> 00:32:34.079
<v Speaker 2>front of you, particularly in the left lane. Right.

600
00:32:35.079 --> 00:32:38.200
<v Speaker 8>Well, sometimes, yeah, most of the time that's what it is.

601
00:32:38.400 --> 00:32:41.359
<v Speaker 8>But sometimes you look behind you and it's just nothing

602
00:32:41.400 --> 00:32:44.319
<v Speaker 8>but a gigantic tidal wave of other cars, and you

603
00:32:44.440 --> 00:32:47.079
<v Speaker 8>look in front of you and there's a big open area,

604
00:32:47.200 --> 00:32:51.640
<v Speaker 8>so you can accelerate and go around them and just

605
00:32:51.759 --> 00:32:55.400
<v Speaker 8>get to a place of safety. Another space cushion.

606
00:32:55.880 --> 00:32:58.240
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I get that. But what is always interesting to

607
00:32:58.319 --> 00:32:59.759
<v Speaker 2>me is I like to try to leave a lot

608
00:32:59.759 --> 00:33:02.440
<v Speaker 2>of between myself and the car in front of it,

609
00:33:02.480 --> 00:33:04.480
<v Speaker 2>because I always assume that the person in front of

610
00:33:04.559 --> 00:33:07.319
<v Speaker 2>me might have an animal runout and roll, They might

611
00:33:07.400 --> 00:33:11.279
<v Speaker 2>hit the brakes real quickly. I never I'm not a tailgater.

612
00:33:11.759 --> 00:33:14.160
<v Speaker 2>And I love when you get behind someone in the

613
00:33:14.240 --> 00:33:16.680
<v Speaker 2>left lane it is going slow, they're going sixty five,

614
00:33:16.799 --> 00:33:19.680
<v Speaker 2>so you're backing off you're going sixty five, and or

615
00:33:19.920 --> 00:33:22.039
<v Speaker 2>are you going seventy and they're going seventy and you

616
00:33:22.119 --> 00:33:25.279
<v Speaker 2>have some guy come up behind you doing eighty. I

617
00:33:25.440 --> 00:33:27.599
<v Speaker 2>love to get I used to, you know, say oh,

618
00:33:27.720 --> 00:33:29.920
<v Speaker 2>you know, I'm not now, I move over, I get

619
00:33:29.960 --> 00:33:31.880
<v Speaker 2>out of the way, because then they'll be on that

620
00:33:32.119 --> 00:33:35.000
<v Speaker 2>the bumper of the guy aheadia And it's like a game.

621
00:33:35.079 --> 00:33:37.359
<v Speaker 2>It's almost I watch it. And then when when that

622
00:33:37.480 --> 00:33:39.519
<v Speaker 2>guy gets in the in the left hand lane and

623
00:33:39.640 --> 00:33:42.480
<v Speaker 2>he kicks it up to ninety or something, I think

624
00:33:42.559 --> 00:33:47.240
<v Speaker 2>to myself, you know what if if he'll get caught

625
00:33:47.440 --> 00:33:51.079
<v Speaker 2>and some police office will pull him over and he'll

626
00:33:51.079 --> 00:33:53.480
<v Speaker 2>spend some time on the side of the road. That's

627
00:33:53.519 --> 00:33:53.920
<v Speaker 2>what I think.

628
00:33:56.240 --> 00:33:59.119
<v Speaker 8>Stay difficult, We got to stay rational and try to

629
00:33:59.319 --> 00:34:00.599
<v Speaker 8>maintain it's cushion.

630
00:34:00.640 --> 00:34:01.519
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely. Hey.

631
00:34:01.880 --> 00:34:03.759
<v Speaker 8>The other the other thing they taught me about was

632
00:34:03.799 --> 00:34:05.039
<v Speaker 8>the imaginary island.

633
00:34:06.640 --> 00:34:07.519
<v Speaker 2>Really, what's that one?

634
00:34:08.760 --> 00:34:10.880
<v Speaker 8>Well, they told me there was an imaginary island, and

635
00:34:10.960 --> 00:34:13.159
<v Speaker 8>then they started joking around about were there any girls

636
00:34:13.239 --> 00:34:14.679
<v Speaker 8>on the island or gotcha?

637
00:34:16.320 --> 00:34:19.639
<v Speaker 2>All right, alright, we'll save that for another night. Thanks Jim,

<v Speaker 9>Nice to hear from you. Well, I'm calling you, thank you.

695
00:37:14.599 --> 00:37:17.440
<v Speaker 9>I have a quick story. My older brother and I

696
00:37:18.119 --> 00:37:21.760
<v Speaker 9>were traveling up to Maine, to Lisbon, Maine because they

697
00:37:21.880 --> 00:37:27.199
<v Speaker 9>have a Moxie festival, the drink, the tonic, the soda,

698
00:37:28.039 --> 00:37:31.480
<v Speaker 9>and his grandson was going to be riding in a

699
00:37:31.760 --> 00:37:33.199
<v Speaker 9>Moxie van, a.

700
00:37:33.280 --> 00:37:34.119
<v Speaker 6>Cute little one.

701
00:37:35.320 --> 00:37:39.679
<v Speaker 9>So I believe in GPS, but my brother does not.

702
00:37:41.000 --> 00:37:45.480
<v Speaker 9>We're driving along and I'm sneaking on my phone. I

703
00:37:45.559 --> 00:37:49.400
<v Speaker 9>have the GPS going, and he gets to a point

704
00:37:49.440 --> 00:37:52.840
<v Speaker 9>and he says, dang, I really don't. I'm not really

705
00:37:52.920 --> 00:37:56.679
<v Speaker 9>sure where we are. So he takes out from behind

706
00:37:56.760 --> 00:37:59.039
<v Speaker 9>the seat. Didn't know he had it in the back seat,

707
00:37:59.559 --> 00:38:03.119
<v Speaker 9>a huge mongous Rand McNally.

708
00:38:04.039 --> 00:38:07.639
<v Speaker 2>Map books, an atlas. We would call that a.

709
00:38:07.679 --> 00:38:11.519
<v Speaker 9>Map at let's take you. I should know that an atlas.

710
00:38:12.119 --> 00:38:14.400
<v Speaker 2>That's old school. That is old school.

711
00:38:15.519 --> 00:38:19.760
<v Speaker 9>This was only five years ago, Dan, And he takes it.

712
00:38:19.840 --> 00:38:20.960
<v Speaker 3>He opens it up.

713
00:38:21.119 --> 00:38:25.480
<v Speaker 9>It's post a size, and he's driving the car. We're

714
00:38:25.519 --> 00:38:33.199
<v Speaker 9>going sixty five with his knees. And I'm not trying

715
00:38:33.239 --> 00:38:39.159
<v Speaker 9>to freak out, but I just carefully said to him,

716
00:38:39.920 --> 00:38:42.639
<v Speaker 9>we are He said, we're only thirty five miles away.

717
00:38:42.679 --> 00:38:45.519
<v Speaker 9>I said, I'm not, according to my notes here. He

718
00:38:45.559 --> 00:38:48.599
<v Speaker 9>said what I said, we're one hundred and thirty five

719
00:38:48.679 --> 00:38:55.760
<v Speaker 9>miles away. I just I said, please let me use

720

00:39:02.119 --> 00:39:02.320
<v Speaker 9>Yes?

723
00:39:03.079 --> 00:39:06.440
<v Speaker 2>Okay, and I'll bet you you used your GPS and

724
00:39:06.559 --> 00:39:07.440
<v Speaker 2>not his atlas.

725
00:39:08.559 --> 00:39:10.639
