We’ve heard ad nauseam, “Don’t text and drive.” Well, there should be a new P.S.A. (public service announcement) reminding everyone “Don’t analyze the Ryder Cup on live radio television while driving a Mercedes.” Not as succinct, but saving lives isn’t all about having a good slogan.

On Monday, Melbourne Radio personality Mark Allen was discussing his thoughts about the 2014 Ryder Cup and Tom Watson’s coaching strategies on a live-call with Australian Sport’s Entertainment Network’s Kevin Bartlett, when he allegedly rear-ended a vehicle while driving. The collision was audible, and Allen’s reaction was pricelessly casual.

“Oh! I’ve just crashed,” Allen says in the audio recording. “I’ve just crashed, K.B. I’ve just crashed the car.”

Allen, a former Australian golfing professional, avoided incriminating himself on the airwaves and assured he was chatting “hands-free” while relaying his expert opinion. This will serve as a warning shot to all radio experts and analysts — don’t conduct call-in interviews while operating an automobile, especially a Mercedes-Benz! Or, at the very least, drive in the slow lane at a safe-following distance on a speakerphone or bluetooth.

The REAL lesson here, however, is that no one discusses Captain Tom Watson’s decisions publically and escapes unscathed — if only the accident happened before Team USA’s press conference, maybe Phil Mickelson would have avoided the media firestorm.
