Lewis Hamilton was investigated by the police recently for using Snapchat while he rode his Harley!

The Formula One world champion has done it again, before you jump to conclusions, what we’re talking about here is that he has managed to grab the attention from the Police yet again for something you would think is not that serious. Recently, Lewis Hamilton was investigated by the police after his Snapchat video of riding his Harley Davidson on the roads of Auckland, surfaced on the Internet.

Well, it is a serious issue in New Zealand because since 2009, it has been deemed illegal to use your mobile phones while you’re on the road, driving. The video shows Hamilton panning as he tries to show what’s happening around him while he is riding.

The investigation was being handled by the local police of Auckland and in the end; they let the three-time F1 champion walk free because there wasn’t sufficient evidence available against him. The police spokesperson said, “The video footage available does not provide us with sufficient enough evidence that an offence has occurred.” The spokesperson added, “We would like to reiterate our earlier statements that police take the issue of mobile phone use whilst driving or riding very seriously. It is a significant distraction and a major risk to all road users.”

Before this, Lewis was fined around £300 after he performed an illegal ‘burnout’ in 2010 before the Australian Grand Prix. “I was driving in an over-exuberant manner and, as a result, was stopped by the police,” the champion said in his statement after the incident. And ended by adding, “What I did was silly and I want to apologise for it.”

Thoughts that come to your mind when your phone is about to die and you can’t help it!

Fear has different names and with that, different kinds. But in today’s world there is one fear that has got into everyone’s head and somewhere it’s funny. The fear you feel when your phone is about to die and you can’t do jack shit about it! It’s not just with you but everyone, from you to all the people around you; world-fu**in-wide! There’s a possibility that something might just go wrong when you can’t get through anyone because, well, your phone will die any minute but what is sure, is you’re overreacting to the situation! And these thoughts exactly explain how you feel OR overreact when your phone is about to die and you can’t help it!

#1 I want to die too!

You’re just sitting, chilling, doing nothing that’s remotely important and your phone beeps with a notification that says ‘low battery’. But to us, it feels like the devil has made his presence felt! And all your fear comes running to you. And all you want to do is die because you were stupid enough to not bring your charger with you.

#2 How will I ever get to know if there’s a zombie break out!

And then, paranoia hits you in the head with a bullet! You don’t even have enough battery to make a last call to your family and friends just to let them know that you love them. What if there’s a zombie break out and all the signals are jammed and you can’t call for help? But what if it’s not paranoia? Save yourself.

#3 I feel like a loner already!

You know your phone is going to die anyway but to make it last longer you turn off the data, decrease the brightness, close all the running apps and whatever gives your phone a little more time to live. You sacrifice your social life so it can live a little more of its life before it has to go back in your bag. Not really sure if that sacrifice is taking you to heaven, just saying!

#4 If anything happens to me, nobody will get to know!

Hope your mom tied that colourful dhaga on your wrist because without that and an almost dead phone, what’s going to save you in this cruel world of humans? It’s time you started carrying a pepper spray, at least. And moreover, everybody wants to die famous, not like Bruce Wayne’s parents in the Crime Alley, right?

#5 How will I stalk that girl/guy on Instagram!?

Talk about big problems of life! It’s that hour of the day when you stalk the shit out of that one person you think you’re in love with. Wait, you’re actually in love with them? Sure. But damn your luck, because your phone is about to die. Don’t get teary eyed now, its wait the worth. It’s better to see a new post by them rather than seeing the old ones for the hundredth time!

#6 How am I going to post stories on Snapchat about the major events in my life?

Those major events as we all know are a movie that you’ll be watching later, maybe the popcorns you’re going to hog! The latter one is actually a major one, no kidding! But you know what’d be a major event? Getting a life, try that!

#7 What if there’s a crisis at work!?

You’d even pray to the God, that you don’t believe in, just to make sure this never takes place. When your phone is about to die and out of nowhere there’s a work crisis and your boss can’t reach you OR he was able to reach you but your phone dies in the middle of the conversation but he thinks you hung up on him. Guess who just lost their job? Wait, you do have a job, right?

#8 I wish I had life support for my phone!

When the common sense knocks on your head and you realize that you should’ve carried your power bank but you being you, forgetting things and all that. Remember, nobody’s perfect but many people do carry their power banks. This is a lesson more important than the trigonometry lesson you were taught as a kid. True story.

#9 It’s like the time has stopped!

Obviously, a phone so smart and the owner so… nevermind. Even if you’re wearing a watch, you can see the clock ticking but it doesn’t make the time run any faster. To kill time you don’t really need a phone but that’s all you have that connects you to everyone, entertains you and helps you in every way possible. But when your phone is about to die, what are you going to do?

7 things every person does when waiting for a friend!

Nobody has got friends who are always on time. That never happens not even in a perfect world. And the worst part is when you’re the one who’s never on time but that one time you’re the first one to reach the meeting point, every friend makes you wait; that, guys, is the worst way to test your patience. We have been through it. But there are things you can do to kill time when waiting for your numb-nut friends!

#1 Check Snapchat

Snapchat is the new addiction for all of us. If you see someone taking a picture at the most random places, chances are he or she is uploading a snapstory or just letting their friends know that they can be weird too.

Source

#2 Check Facebook

Already checked your Facebook twice, and still scrolling down looking at the same posts again and again or even posting the weirdest sh*t on your friend’s wall because they’ve got to pay for making you wait!

Source

#3 Check Twitter

Why to just rant on your friend’s wall? Tweet about it! Let the world know how it feels to wait for your minions. Maybe you’re just doing that for retweets and favourites. It’s alright, we aren’t judging!

#4 Click selfies

You look fabulous. Do that!

Source

#5 Listen to music

This is the best way to kill time, hands down. Also, with every song you can calculate how long your friends have made you wait. It always works.

Source

#6 Call your friends

Not once, not twice but every 5 minutes. Let them know you won’t suffer alone, bug them with your calls. They probably won’t answer the phone but do what you’ve got to do! Give ‘em hell!

#7 Repeat Cycle

Do we really need to say that? You’re smart enough!

7 things parents with technologically-advanced kids don’t understand

Parents have got our back in the good times and the bad times. They’ll handle us and our stress too but there are a few things about our parents that do make us cringe. Oh yeah, they do. And these things are very normal but they make it so hard you want to moonwalk out of the house. Well, most of us have dealt, heck, still dealing with these problems and for those who haven’t, we’ll just say – lucky cow.

Here’s what we have to deal with when parents don’t understand… things

#1 Snapchat!

Every youngster’s favourite app these days, there are chances many parents haven’t even heard of it and we kinda believe that’s for the best.

Source

#2 Instagram

Your first mistake was introducing them to Instagram, second was handing over your phone to them so they could take a closer, much better look at a cat or some food or maybe some random model with all her curves out in the open. You know damn well what we’re talking about. And the worst is yet to come, tell them how to like a picture and that’s it. We can see your bad side coming out.

#3 Twitter

Dad: What’s Twitter?

Son: A micro-blogging site. You tweet whatever you want to say.

Dad: Like Facebook? Can I tweet on Facebook?

Son: Goodnight, Dad.

You see? It’s so hard!

#4 Periscope

“Is it some kind of microscope or something?” seriously? Pull yourself together, parents!

Source

#5 Live Streaming

No, dear parents, it’s not a TV show. It’s what you call ‘Live’? And no, you don’t need to buy tickets to watch this. Like a live cricket match only online? Now you get it!

Source

#6 Aux Cable

Also known as an auxiliary cable (or aux cable), the only friend you have in your car if you’re driving alone. To our parents, it’s useless. Because FM radio/CDs work just fine for them!

Source

#7 YouTubers

Your parents might have heard of All India Bakchod after all the controversy that followed them home but that was a one-time thing. We believe they’ve never really heard of them again or even saw any of their work. And YouTube is filled with so many brilliant YouTubers that if you talk about them with your parents, you’re probably speaking Hebrew to them.

These things that parents with technologically-advanced kids don’t understand, it gets funny by the end. But understand this, parents, we love you no matter what!
