and then i teared up

there was a sign on the cross island that you have to use hands free phones while driving

i mentioned to avraham that mythbusters tested it and found hands free to be no safer.

i then pointed out that as a good driver avraham wasn't really listening to me right then, either (also, i babble, so it helps to tune me out), because he needed to pay attention to the road, when the car in front of front of us hit his brakes and we were still hurtling towards it, and avraham was stamping the brake as hard as he could and we weren't stopping and we were bracing for a hit and thinking all those thoughts you think when you're about to crash (with your baby in the back seat!) - and the car screeched to a stop.  the car behind was also able to brake, and we're fine, but seriously by the grace of God, and we were 2 seconds away from a 40 mph collision and glass flying and engine breaking and cops and fire and hospitals.  It sunk in very hard about 20 seconds later...
