Texting though you are driving is a poor thought. A cyclist learnt this the challenging way when he chose to concentrate on his phone as an alternative of seeking at the road. And as luck would have it, what occurred next was captured on camera for the planet to see. In a video shared by former American basketball player Rex Chapman, the cyclist, engrossed in messaging, was filmed crashing straight into a minivan that was parked on the side of the road. The effect of the hit triggered the cycle to fall to the ground, though the man was thrown back and could be noticed rubbing his sore face.
Rex captioned the clip with the fair warning, “Don’t text and bike…”

The footage, which had Twitter customers in splits, has racked up more than 9.7 lakh views so far.
Twitter reacted to it by sharing more clips of accidental run-ins triggered by texting though travelling. Take a look.
Texting and failing are some of the most effective gifs!!

Another user seemed to have more sympathy for the owner of the minivan than the careless cyclist. “Imagine filing an auto insurance claim for this rear-ending collision,” study the tweet.
Imagine filing an auto insurance coverage claim for this rear ending collision.

Many have been also fast to note that the cyclist appeared to be miffed with the van for the embarrassing circumstance.
I adore how he begins seeking about to see if any individual noticed. ????

One viewer noted, “Hahaha, he goes so fast from crashing to trying to blame the van to looking around embarrassed.”

American publicist Danny Deraney also seconded the observation. He asked, “Is he getting mad at the van?” followed by emojis of laughter.

In 2017, an oblivious man in China, busy on his phone though riding his scooter, drove straight into a six-foot sinkhole.
