First, careless drivers have accident. It is very dangerous and nothing doing!
Even if common drive, we dring about a possible accident. Secondly, it is
possiible that we kill for someone. For example, I killed one person for my
carelessness,when I felt shock and one's own survior felt shock more than me.
I will hump it sin forever. Thirdly, that behavior is rudeness for your mailpal,

while they are driving. If you do possibly answer, you need stop your car.
