He used to tailgate, 75 MPH, 10 feet off the bumper of the car in front of us, and text on his phone.
It amazes me that texting while driving isn't treated exactly the same as driving while shitfaced. The results are the same. The shithead doing it is at far greater risk of killing someone. No-fucking-brainer! Texting while driving should be a crime. It should result in an arrest, revocation of driving license and requirement of taking safety classes to be eligible to drive again.
Yup. The city where I live, a really young girl (17) ran a red light and two people were killed. She got off because there was no proof one way or the other about texting. Maybe her dad was the mayor, idunno, but she got away with murder, imo. Driving while texting IS considered a crime here in California, but treated as low level, I guess. I got rear-ended many years ago (1997) and bought a gigantor Buick so that the next time I got hit, the dumb shit would suffer more. I haven't been hit since, so I can't report the success of my decision.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

I was hit in a 6500lb 1.5 ton pickup at ~60 MPH by a texter in a smallish BMW while turning into a restaurant. The impact cracked two of my ribs and sent me careening into a parked car. No big deal in the great scheme of things. It sure cost her insurance company a lot of money so I personally can't complain.
This thing is a freaking menace though. What difference does it make if a driver hits you while drunk or completely inattentive because of texting? The result is exactly the same and the consequences should be the same. An unguided car at high velocity is a lethal menace. What difference does it make if someone creates that situation because of texting or because they are drunk? It's the same criminal negligence IMO.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

I transition between Neutral Good and Chaotic Good as conditions may warrant.

Lol, did you get caught smoking weed again Captain?
Lol, I've been in jail before, not for anything I'd consider a crime, but for my general disrespect for the law. As a bike delivery person, I've probably run around 100 red lights a month. If the law is pointless, then obeying it is pointless. I actually break petty pointless laws very regularly, mostly out of bounds camping laws, or dodging fees in national parks. More when I was younger and weed was illegal. I also had quite the shoplifting habit back then, and I never felt bad about it. In fact I felt pretty morally justified in some cases, especially stealing from dnc, the consesionaire company in the national parks. They are an evil morally bankrupt company. I think stealing from them is a net positive morally.
Also as a dungeon master I certainly would require a chaotic good character to behave as one, not just have some sort of vague philosophical belief about it. Y'all a bunch of lawful good people or lawful neutral mostly.
