Driving Me Crazy

>Was driving with no hands NOT enough?

Enough to do what, hurt somebody or even affect them in any way? Apparently not.

The strangest thing I ever saw on the road? Well, several years ago, I was driving through Minden and saw several guys piled into a kiddy pool that was sitting in the back of their pickup truck. They were actually riding down the road like this and it looked like they were having some kind of mobile drinking/pool party. Very redneck!

One time in Austin TX on the interstate we wer going 80 traffic is bumper to bumper and this crotch rocket flys by us like we are standing still. Speaking of standing, this guy was standing on the seat driving and apparently his legs got tired so he just climbs over the handle bars and sits down right over the front tire. It scared me just seeing this.

I've seen people driving while reading a book, but nothing like that! Sure it wasn't Evil Knievel?

There was this man in the town I grew up in and when you saw him coming down the road you knew to move out of the way. He was always weaving all over the place. Rumor has it that he was driving and reading....(I mean ogling) Playboy!

I've seen guys shave while driving and girls put on their makeup while driving. But with today's DVD car video systems you can now add "watching porn" to the list.

I work accidents EVERYDAY, and every time I think I've seen it all- I see something crazier!

Usually, speed is the main problem. People are FAR too comfortable in these newer vehicles, it takes the "driving" out of driving. You have to remember that your in a 2 ton hunk of metal rolling down the road, that may or may not stop when you want it to. It's funny how "shocked" people seem when their car has a problem, especially when its a Mercedes or something, as if the $100,000 car will not have problems

- I haven't seen a machine yet that WON'T break!

How far did you follow them to see? Would it have happened only during observation?
