I was on I75 going towards Dayton and a guy passed me by reading a USA Today newspaper draped over his steering wheel.

Nice demographic if you can get it.

Experts. Sounds like the findings from a multi-million dollar, government funded study. The true “experts” are the ones who are smart enough to get grants to do studies with obvious answers.

I am also an expert!

Driving cars causes accidents therefore ban cars.

Yeah. I know my siblings sure did.

Of course my Dad never took his eyes off the road — he simply reached back with one hand and pinched whoever he got his hands on first. And he was a quick sob, too.

I like how some people think that your car exerts some sort of privacy shield. I watched a good looking gals go one knuckle deep the other day at a stop light. She had tinted windows but didn’t think about all the back lighting from the storefront next to us.

Only people who are stupid eat, comb, phone or text while driving. When I get beside them I hit the horn long and loud.

But the KFC Go Cups fit right in the cupholder! Surely the study didn't take that into account.

Hahahahahahahahaha!

When we were kids back in the early sixties (we had six, and my dad was at sea most of the time, so you can imagine how stressed out my mom was) we would call my mom “Old Leadfoot”.

When we were acting up, she would take that 1964 Chrysler New Yorker station wagon with the 500 cubic inch engine up to about 100 mph, and we would cry “Mom! Slow down!” with tears in our eyes, and she would yell back “I’m not slowing down until you behave!”

And we would behave.

Now, she would likely be in jail for child abuse!

(She lined us all up one day, and pretended to call an orphanage to take us, because she couldn’t handle us anymore! Bawling, we cried “Mom! Please don’t send us to the orphanage!”

LOL, I admire her originality! (God rest her soul!)

When I eat while driving I stop texting, searching for a cd and put my beer in the cup holder. Much safer./sarc

I suppose it might be a little distracting for some to eat a steak and potato entre while crusing down the turnpike but surely a simple bowl of soup should be doable.

Why, I never would have guessed this. I am sure glad I was told about it now by experts.

So does looking in your rear mirror, futzing with the audio entertainment center, watching the portable DVD player that’s mounted on the dash, watching or manipulating the GPS, children sitting in the backseat that need to be backhanded for causing problems to their fellow siblings, smoking, and on and on and on.
