Hands Free?

Miscellaneous Musing by Judy @ 5:09 PM

When at work, I park in a big, multi-story lot — the kind where you drive up an endless oval ramp in search of a place to slot your vehicle. Some of the turns are tight.

Yesterday I followed a guy in a brand new Audi A6 up the ramp. The whole way he had a cell phone stuck in his ear. Since he was holding the phone with one hand and steering with the other hand, he had a bit of trouble making some of those turns. He kept slowing to a stop. He was laughing as he finally parked. I wasn’t amused.

Now, maybe it’s just me… but shouldn’t a car that costs somewhere around $45K have a hands-free option?
