Let's actually learn that some things are just foolish!

...and take personal responsibility for the consequences of our actions. i only use my iPhone when stopped whether in a car, on a bike etc. because i don't want a phone distracting me. common sense

whenever i ride my bike, motobike or even drive car, i put my phone in my wallet. No phone calls could be more important to your life. Missed calls? Calling back.
Some friends blame me for this habbit but i think it' a good one.

I got pulled over by a policeman for driving with outdated tabs (I thought we had put them on). When I pulled over he asked me for my driver's license and insurance. I told him that my wallet and phone were in the trunk. I told him I keep them there so I can't hear the phone ring when I am driving because that way I won't get distracted. I also don't have to lie when I tell people I never heard the phone ring. (I don't keep them in the trunk so often anymore. It seems no one wants to call me anyway. I just can't figure out why??)

I still wonder if the poor policeman was afraid of what I may have had in the trunk
