My kid’s just finished the classroom part of driver education and it prompted a discussion of crazy things we’ve seen other drivers do.
The craziest thing I saw, many years ago now, was I came up behind a guy driving a Ford Ranger pickup and could see through his rear window that he was doing tricep extensions with a dumbbell in his right hand. I was more surprised as I passed to see he was shaving with an electric razor in his left hand. I don’t really know how he was steering.
Kiddo said they were told personal grooming was the fourth leading cause of accidents.
Comparatively yeah. It just sticks with me because apparently those 3-4 seconds made all the difference.
It was a welcome addition to the conversation (just in case you took my previous comment negatively).
No negativity taken. I’m sure I’ve seen worse regularly… Too regularly. To the point that I don’t bother committing it to memory at this point. People driving on the median or opposing traffic as a shortcut? Daily. People holding up an intersection to show off their sick burnout skills? A couple times a year.
Most of what I’ve read in here though? I haven’t seen anyone so absorbed in not driving while driving.
Tailgating is the most dangerous thing I’ve seen.
Once I saw 5 cars travelling at 80+ mph each with barely a few feet between them
