Here’s a quick tip from your Uncle CB, that everyone else has said, but I think bears repeating: don’t play Pokemon Go and drive. Seriously, it’s not rocket surgery, but people still aren’t doing it.
I was walking with a buddy today, and I saw a scooter go by. Both the passenger and the driver were staring down at their phones. Which raises two very big questions:
1) How are all these Canadians getting Pokemon Go?
2) Why the hell would the guy riding the scooter not just give his phone to his passenger?
Seriously folks, it’s not hard. I get you want your Ratatas and your Pikachus and your Agumons, but just pay attention before you hurt yourself or someone else.

People are stupid. They are like really young children who need to be told that it’s not just talking and texting on a mobile phone but operating a mobile phone altogether that’s dangerous and illegal.
There was one person got pulled over by the police for using her mobile phone. Her response was ‘I wasn’t texting, I was reading a text’. Her parents must be so proud.
They are trying to delay or stop the roll out of PokemonGo(*uckYourselves) here in the U.K.
Why can’t they make the software link to in built accelerometers which disable the app over 10mph?

Snapchat got in hot water for enabling a speed filtre for the app, so I see where you’re coming from with disabling the app above a certain speed. Honestly, I don’t think it’s the app’s fault, I think it’s people for not thinking. As I was telling my buddy, it’s not making people stupid, it’s giving people a new avenue to be stupid.

That is so true my friend, so true.
There are many stupid people out there it’s these apps and tools give them another out.
I can’t get my head round most people. People these days need to be told everything. Common sense should be made into a test before leaving school.

Look both ways and keep an eye on your signals, otherwise you end up like those three people who nearly got run over in my neighbourhood.

Really guys? Off a cliff?
Come on.
I’m thinking about quitting the game because I don’t want to be associated with people this stupid.
As for the Canadians, it’s really easy to change your location on an android phone.
