eating food and drinking liquids is a huge hazard. its 2 hands on the wheel while driving for a reason. you want to eat - pull over. countless times i've seen people driving with just their thighs as they chomp down on a burger - real safe huh

I have a friend who reads the fucking morning newspaper while he is driving to a jobsite. He'll be driving and occasionally look over the paper to see what is happening on the road.

He also thinks he needs to keep looking at you instead of the road when he talks and he jabberjaws and only shuts up when he takes a toke off his joint because he's all geeked out on coffee and stupified on ganja.

We were going to a side job one Saturday morning and he was drinking his coffee, readfing his newspaper, talking to me, non-chalantly waving his joint around, ashing it out the window advertizing the fact that he is smoking pot to everyone on the road.

He was always slamming on the brakes because he doesn't notice that everyone on the road is stopping for a red light except for him until the last second. (Then he wonders why he wears out his brakes so damn fast).

He says he does it all the time. I say it's only a matter of time before he meets with tragedy.

Naturally I will not ever get into a vehicle with him at the controls again. His brothers are just as bad. I won't get into a truck with any of them at the wheel. It's just too stressful.

It's almost as stressful as your kid getting their first car.
