As I walked in I saw her and ask if she realized she almost hit me, she said If I did it would have been you fault cause I had a green light. The old man who saw everything came in and said young lady if you hit that gentleman I would pull the phone out of your ear and shove it up your as$. The young lady by now was feeling uncomfy and just wanting to get away and admited she did not even remember driving thru the light and said she never noticed MY BIG BLUE HUMMER. I was feeling bad cause the old man was yapping at her the whole way thru the store about how maybe she was too young to drive, how she definately should not have been driving while talking on the phone. After I checked out I passed her outside crying talking to her mom on the phone about how she almost hit a truck and never saw it cause she was on her phone. Two days later I saw her and her mom at the supermarket. I saw her point me out to her mom and they approached me. Her mom asked if her daughter almost did hit me. As I assured her the story was true she told me her daughter is no longer permitted to use her phone in the car and has to lock it in the trunk while driving. She further went to thank me for bringing it up to her daughter and her and making her daughter realize how dangerous it is to drive and talk. Maybe a small vistory for safe driving.

This is how all parents should react.
