These are all things I witnessed drivers doing in their cars, during rush hour traffic, on I-24 while on my way to the doctor yesterday. PEOPLE! What are you thinking?! Keep in mind, this is
not a long drive -- it took me approximately 35 minutes.
- Reading the newspaper. Not while stopped at a traffic light, because of traffic jams, etc. WHILE DRIVING.
- Shaving
- Applying makeup
- Eating, eating, eating. It seems most Nashvillians get their breakfast to-go.
- Drinking from cups bigger than their face, without a straw. Hi, can you see the road?
- Using a laptop
- Turned around in the seat trying to hit the child in the backseat as the child was ducking and weaving about as much as the car was
- Speaking into one of those hand held tape recorder things that I've only ever seen one person actually use. Oddly enough, that person was David's ENT, and that was who I saw driving and using it!
- Getting dressed. Seriously, you can't take the extra 45 seconds to put the shirt on before you leave the house?
- Of course, talking on a cell phone.
- Holding a map on the steering wheel with one hand while turning the page with another, looking at the map. Um, which hand is STEERING YOUR FREAKING CAR?
- And my personal favorite, text messaging. If you can't text message on your cell phone without holding it directly in your line of vision while swerving like a drunk in and out of lanes, just call the person.
