Stupid things people do while driving

I spend a lot of time behind the wheel and it never ceases to amaze me what foolish things some people will do while driving a car. I'm not talking about using a cell phone, I mean really dumb stuff that could cause an accident. This week for example I saw one lady driving the car while at the same time she was looking in the rearview mirror and using one of those eyelash curling tools. I mean she was doing like 60 miles an hour and curling her eyelashes. Another driver had a hardcover novel on his steering wheel and was reading it as he drove. I could see that his eyes were focused on the book and not the road. Again, this guy was doing about 60mph. Another fool was eating a bowl of cereal with two hands as he drove. I suppose he was using his knees to steer the car. Another guy was using an electric razor as he drove. Do these idiots think that no one sees them, or do they just not care? So, lets hear some of the wacky things you've seen people do behid the wheel.

I saw almost the same thing this morning. A woman driving Route 38 west bound while putting on her make up. Swerving in and out of traffic trying to make up time. Un F'en Believable.

 

11/5/06 driving in the passing lane at the speed limit or there abouts (50) on Route 37 while reading directions to an ice rink. I met this individual UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL...........CRASH!!!

I LIKE PIZZA!

While in college I went with my girlfriend to visit her mother for few days. The first time in the car with her she started driving with her knees so she could put on her makeup while looking in the mirror. Full blown makeup application. This was done while driving on a jughandle and merging onto a highway.cwm31.gif Brains didn't run in the family.

I had an older woman behind me when I was went onto a highway exit today, and had to stop to yield to traffic on that road. As I crept up to judge traffic, I saw the minivan behind me was way too close. I looked into the rearview, and saw the woman yakking away on her effn' cell phone. Made me mad it did, as I could see her easily tapping my back bumper. Like I said, she was way too close.

 

 

 

Couple weeks ago, I was going into the parking deck at work. The middle section is poorly lit. Woman driver coming down the deck too fast, on my side, no lights on to see or be seen, and I could see her also yakking on her phone when I went as far right on the available space as I could when we passed.

 

 

 

Neither of these woman had the hands-free phones. I must have some sort of magnetism for attracting inattentive women who can't live without meaningless chit-chat on their cellphones when I'm trying to get somewhere. I'm sure one of them will eventually tag me sometime.

 

 

 

These things really frost me over when I'm driving.

Mine is people that think they are invincible when they have 4WD in the snow. yes it gives you better traction and better control. but it won't help you on ice or when you are driving 60 on an unplowed in a slushy snow storm cwm31.gif

 

I can't tell you how many times I have been in 4WD driving 40 in a 65 on the interstate and getting past ....only to find people that past me in the median a few miles up the road

Using a handheld cell phone isn't any more dangerous than using one with a headset, or for that matter, talking to a passenger. It's the conversation that reduces your ability to concentrate, this whole hand held cell phone thing is nothing but a political con job based on class envy.

 

If you don't believe me try this. Next time you're driving down the road, hold your hand up to the side of your head................Did you suddenly lose the ability to drive? rolleyes.gif

 

Women drivers are the threat. I for one, would much rather have them talking on a phone than to a passenger, considering the fact that most women are unable to talk to someone without looking at them. screamin-meanie.gif

 

Eating, adjusting the radio, adjusting the climate control, and smoking all cause more accidents than cell phones.

 

(For the record. I talk on my cell phone for an average of 2-4 minutes per week. And the only time that I typically use it while driving is to call the State Police to report an accident/dangerous objects in the road etc.)

Justice will only exist where those not affected by injustice are filled with the same amount of indignation as those offended.

that's a good one mdc. i guess they think the 4wd will help them stop faster too. headscratch.gif

 

 

 

passing on the right has got to make the top 5 for me too. mad.gif same thing with people pulling onto the highway and making a beeline for the left lane like its the travel lane. i swear i've seen so many mental midgets move across a couple open lanes just after pulling out on the highway, to get in the passing lane and do less then average traffic speed. like the left lane was the promised land. headscratch.gif

 

 

 

but the most idiotic thing to me is the folks doing 50mph + on someones bumper. most of the time i see it, i couldn't parallel park between the cars if they were standing still. i don't care where you are going, its just not that important.

 

 

 

too many dumbasses.
