[...] it looks like the DuBois family chose not to listen to us, and Allison’s cell phone use finally caused a car crash. Okay, not really. It seems like a teenage driver caused it, but the fact remains, Allison is [...]

Yes, but as you pointed out, only two of those actually happened. The others were either near-misses or dreams of accidents that never actually happened. The ones that never actually happened shouldn’t be held against her, don’t you think?

Dawn, I to believe the OP and the other comments are refering to all the vehicular accidents Allison has either caused herself or had happen to her in real life or in her dreams.

#1. “Coming Soon (S1)” – Allison purposely rams the back of Good Samaritan’s car in order to keep him within the Phoenix PD’s jursidction, because she thinks the red haired girl from her dream is dead, wrapped up in a carpet of the Samaritan’s trunk.

#2. “The Reckoning (S2)” – Allison accidently hits a girl, who ran out into the street after her dog, with her car. It turns out it was a vision of something that happened with a woman (Nadine) — that she meets in a diner while waiting for the gas station to check her headlights— and her husband on Nadine’s birthday.

#3. “Death Takes a Policy (S2)” – Allison is talking on the phone to one of Ariel’s teachers and is nearly T-Boned by a truck in the intersection she frequents and believes Death is trying to tell her that her number is up.

#4. “Be Kind, Rewind (S3)” – Allison is talking on her cell phone to Joe about going to pick up Ariel from school (because Ariel fears a girl is going to beat her up over being placed at the top of the “Hot” List) and is blindesided by a speeding car, belonging to that of a Lawyer. As a result she loses her legs, but wakes up and realizes its was all a dream.

#5. “Then …And Again (S5)” Joe reveals to Marie that Allison was in a car accident when she was nine months pregnant with her, back in 2004. She got blindsided by a truck for a plumbing company (Klog King).

I agree with Aaron. Who DOESN’T do it? I mean, Maria Shriver got caught doing it recently, and she’s the governor’s wife! It’s not uncommon, and while there (and should be) laws against it, lots of people still do it. I do agree that the use of a headset is crucial though. I personally don’t use one, but only because my car has built-in Bluetooth, which I LOVE! Maybe Allison should think about getting a headset though.

Also, I don’t know where y’all are getting all these accidents that Allison’s supposed to have been in. I can only recall one that she was actually in, and a couple of near-misses. The one in Be Kind, Rewind shouldn’t count cause that was in a dream, lol! It never actually happened.
Jmo.

Allison talks on her cell phone a lot with Joe. Joe seems to be keeping her on the phone.

Where I live on Long Island it is illegal for several years now to talk on a cell phone while driving. A few of my friends have been ticketed for it so we just don’t do it. So for me watching Allison talking on the cell phone while driving is noticeable. I hate watching people from other states talk on the phone while driving since we don’t do it here and it can cause an accident.

Kona, did you hear me screaming at the TV to STOP TALKING! HANG UP! LOL! I can’t believe she’s driving and even worse, Joe is talking away to her when he can tell she is clearly in the car! Duh!

Is anyone else ready for Allison to get rid of the Volvo already? Joe’s car always looks shiny and new and Allison is still driving that old Volvo. Enough! Give the Volvo to Ariel and get a new car already.

for once I have to disagree. Its another element of the show that is realistic. who dosent drive and talk at the same time? almost everybody does. I do. that is one of my favorite thingsabout the show. The do ll these different fictional scenarios and they do it with staying as real as possible.
