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.

      As you should. That movie deserves a bigger screen and decent sound setup. Watching it on a phone is criminal.

    Drove past a guy on the highway, driving 100kph, wondered why he first drove so slow, then sped up, then slowed again… He was reading a book while driving 🤦‍♂️ One other guy, driving 80kph hardly could keep the truck on his own lane, so I drove past him. He was filling in some paper forms, while he had a cup of, assumably, coffee in the other hand, and tried to keep the truck going straight with that. Jeez these people…

    I get that the spirit is what a person has seen IRL, but there’s a pretty (in)famous video of a guy having sex with a woman in the driver’s seat of a Tesla in self-driving mode.
