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.

    I watched a guy eat a meal while driving a van.

    In itself that’s not crazy, but it is when you’re holding a knife and fork, and you’ve got a plate of…something on your car dashboard.

      Similar, here.

      Stopped at lights on drive into work next to a woman at the wheel, spooning down her breakfast from a bowl.

      Someone, I told at work asked if you could get into trouble for this…maybe not the first time, but, yes, if you’re a cereal offender.
