       Spent my walk home from dropping my boy off at school fuming over the callous lack of consideration of drivers - I walked past a big queue of drivers waiting to go through a roundabout like they do every morning. Many of them were digitally wanking - looking down at their phones while they moved in fits & starts, oblivious to what was around them (including lots of school kids crossing & on bikes, as this was a couple blocks from 2 schools), all breaking the law. They should be fined heavily.

       @lightweight Thank you for the phrase "digital wanking". That's exactly what a driver heading towards me on my bike did today. In a street between a school and a play ground. :mastorage:

       @irrewirre ugh. It's an every day occurrence, eh. Makes me so angry.

       @lightweight @irrewirre #PhoneZombies. The photographer Ritzo ten Cate made a series of shots in the Netherlands, taking a picture of people just as they looked up from their smartphone to capture the empty stare in their eyes.https://www.flickr.com/photos/ritzotencate/albums/72157674642373921#photography #art #CaughtInTheApp

       Sadly, of course, they drive inconsiderately (& based on my experience cycle commuting, they engage in habitual digital wanking under any & all road conditions) with impunity - they're never held to account because our police are underfunded in this area. I've even seen police officers looking down at their phones while driving police cars... As a cyclist & father, the world seems quite comfortable putting my & my children's safety at risk through their totally avoidable  inattention.
