Motorcycle Stupidity - Personal Acc

2007 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

All right, I was driving home from a restaurant home.

We spotted a person on a very noisy moped.

Driving down the street. No helmet. Talking on his cell phone.

Looking to the left.

Cars in front of him.

For about 500 feet, he remained this way, before he finally put away his cell phone and turned off.

Luckily, this near Darwin Award winner didn't crash.

Topeka, Kansas

It's just a matter of time before this guy kills himself, or worse, somebody else.

I was hoping that last bit would have said something like "before he finally plowed into a parked car" but it's still a pretty funny image.
