Two lady drivers driving in opposite directions where there's only room for one stream of traffic] down my road a short while ago,one in a 55 plate 5 series BMW estate the other in a 55 plate 5 series BMW saloon drove head on into each other at about 15-20mph each car neither seemed to notice the other until pretty much the time of impact.Fortunately neither driver appears to have been seriously hurt.Both were on their mobile phones at the time :-XThe road is only just now being opened up again as both wrecks of course blocked the only space available to any other traffic.I know it's illegal to use a hand held phone while driving but surely holding a phone to your ear and talking doesn't impair your vision through the windscreen?

fortunately they each met their stupid counterpart rather than killing someone
both should get points and a BIG fine

 I will use the opti defense.

This is why woman need a chaperone when driving,there little minds cannot work at speed, or judge distances,..

Tell a woman you've got 2", she'll think your hung like a donkey.

Works for me.

I am appalled at how many people drive with hand held phones here in Spain.

What I have never understood is why it is the driver in a car full of people.

Same here in Ireland.
I see it every minute of driving and if I see it the the police on the footpath or driving must also but I know of no one or have heard of anyone being prosecuted for it.
There is a local plumber who everyone "jokes" about in that they have never seen him drive without a phone at his ear.
At the risk of being accused of sexism , down here women drivers are by far the worst ,demanding utmost care in guessing what they will do next , they seem to be devoid of spatial awareness when on a phone.
It really demands harsh policing with fines/points.

As the police and ambulance services were in attendance hopefully there will be fines/points/bans handed down.Being out on the front garden with the dog at the time I witnessed the crash occur and have given a statement to the police,what either of the two drivers have said I don't know but a pretty near head on collision in clear conditions must surely take some explaining away?As it is it seems both have got off a lot more lightly than they could have injury wise and that no-one else was involved[pedestrians etc].Whether I'll have to appear in any court action remains to be seen.

and ambulance services

Ah, no doubt got out of their cars holding their necks.

Ah, no doubt got out of their cars holding their necks.

Probably still on their phones, relaying details of the coming together.

Wouldn't it be ironic if they were on the phone to each other at the point of impact

Me and my second wife crashed into each other once

Oh I can, you know 

[STEMO]

Oh, alright then.
We were both returning home in separate cars. There were two spaces available outside the house, I arrived and drove in front first, right up to the back of next doors car. As I reversed to leave a gap.....crunch! She had driven in behind me and crashed into the back of me/I had reversed into her/whatever.
Oh how we laughed.
