Pelican #1 says to Pelican #2: See this car coming? Dude's on his cell phone, watch this (swoops down in front of windshield).

[tallyho]

amazing: it was the bird's fault nothing to do with being on a cell phone while driving .... and if you drive a Bugatti then you can afford a hands free yes??

hahah omg, you people are funny! In the local paper, www.lufkindailynews.com someone taped this incident & put it on there, it does not show a pelican. THe man either dropped his phone & it fell under the brake pedal & the idiot swerved at the same time he went to get his phone (bc he was going to fast to control the car) OR it was an insurance scam. I have dropped my phone under the brake before, kind of scary but i kicked it out, not bend down eyes off the road & freakin swerve off.... you just let off the gas, hello! haha. O yea & you would think this car would have that bluetooth capability where you wouldnt need to even have your phone to your ear or an ear piece.
