I don't get why someone would type, when they can use voice?
Ok, there's "stupid" I guess. But isn't that a modern phone with Siri or the Google Goblin, or something?
The scream is funny'ish.
She's probably wishing she had take the INSURANCE OPTION.

The backstory is that she was heading to or from a nurse practitioner's meeting (see the ID badge), making some business arrangements on the fly.
Also, this meeting is the reason for the Turo rent-a-car. I bet that car owner is never going to do that again.
You would think an RN Practitioner would know better. But...
It could've been so much worse.
I worked at Enterprise for a few years and I’ve seen worse lol.
Yes, she was lucky she went off to the right and not crossed over to the left.
I saw that cement truck go by, good thing she didn't tangle with that. She might not be around if she had.
Yes. She was very lucky.

Just a classic example, of why driving needs your attention way more than the ***cking phone!!!
I absolutely hate it. No one drives anymore, they simply see driving as an alternate activity to their cell phone addiction. Seems most people these days now need a cell phone cradle in their car / truck / suv, or on their motorcycle. No, you don't (and I don't care who you are or if this bothers you)... People have developed a disregard for property and injury to themselves and others because 'that text or call can't wait'.
It absolutely can wait. There was a day when we had no cell phones or nav screens or touch screens. We lived and worked and drove.

Bad driver on top of it. You'd feel the transition, soon enough to add a little throttle and steer out of it. Bad roads and youthful exuberance teaches it.
It's an addiction.
You can tell whether a person is texting, drunk, or both almost immediately while driving behind them.
The problem is, she was so engaged with whatever the texts were about, her driving reflexes prolly went to zero.
Plus, it takes a split second to refocus on the road after looking at your phone. That's enough time to lose control.
All of which make her a bad driver.
She should have used a Bluetooth headset. At least she could keep her eyes on the road while talking.
