Selective excerpt:

“He said specifically three times, you can’t just go down the road eating a hamburger.”......

Madison said. “He said specifically three times, you can’t just go down the road eating a hamburger.”

Soup is the worst when driving.

Ramen being the very worst.

“I don’t drive with my mouth!”

For the cell phone user (texting,voicing,browsing):

"I don't drive with my brain"

A guy drove past me a couple of years ago playing a trumpet.

Yes. He was driving and PLAYING A TRUMPET.

Double QP Jammin’ fries with a beer steering with my knee. Good times huh? I do draw the line at ketchup. Its a no no.

“Maybe if you had a giant pizza in both hands and you weren’t holding the wheel or maybe if you had a watermelon, half watermelon and you were just diving into it holding it with both hands, maybe that would be something,” Head said.

Leave distracted driving to the professionals.

That's okay. He's a professional.

Back in the day in order to get a drivers license ya had to be able to open a beer(with a church key)light a cig and shift to 3rd at the same time!

In a perfect world this would still be used to determine who is worthy of the "privilege" of driving on public roadways. Perhaps add in backhanding an unruly child in the back seat at the same time too.

Traffic tickets are about making an income for the LEOs who are constantly driving around violating the same laws they are writing tickets for.

It takes a special kind of person to do that.

Pasta is a bit tricky.

These have been real distractions for people forever. Include in the list putting on makeup.

A local funeral home has a commercial that starts showing a woman driving who is applying lipstick and then cuts to show her car in one lane and a hearse in the other. The point made is something along the line of don’t do this or we might be buying your makeup for you.

There are all kinds of distractions around us when driving. To handle them all we’ll be forced to drive by ourselves, no kids or passengers, no food, music, smokes, or any other object in the car with us, probably naked.

I’m thinking that eating a taco would be the most distracting.

(Yes, that can be read multiple ways).

I heard a caller to a NJ radio station talking about the crazy things she’d see on her commute. She said she once saw someone making a salad while they were driving.

I believe you. Got behind a Caddy that was all over the road while on my bike. Finally passed the guy and looked over. He had sheet music on the dash and was playing a harmonica and steering with his elbows.

Not if you leave part of the stalk on - then ya got yourself a handle and can drink your beer at the same time.

At least it was a burger and not corn on the Cobb...

Saw a cop this morning. Flashing lights on, but driving the speed limit on a nearly empty street. As she approached the intersection (she had the green), she turned off her flashers.

Then, after going through the intersection, she turned the flashers back on, then made a U-turn, followed by an illegal left turn from the right lane through the intersection she had just passed a minute ago. Didn’t speed off either, just keep going the speed limit.

Now, if that isn’t distracted and reckless driving, I don’t know what is.

I’ve seen people in Houston doing everything from applying makeup, shaving and reading a book in traffic.
