This morning I saw one that actually had a mirror propt on her dash that was lit...she ran off the road several times, but kept on doing it. Soon, this will be the leading cause of traffic accidents!

WTF- do these stupid people really need the biggest friggin vehicles on the road!

Well i Have to say the worst thing I've ever seen is some old bastard driving his lexus reading a paper. I don't mean scanning it - he was reading this fvcking thing. He was literally ALL over the road. I actually was so disgusted that I started giving him the double-horn action from the sentra several times in a row, but he kept on reading that paper. I had to turn off before I had long enough to keep on using the horn. I was quite disgusted by it and I think in fact calling the cops would not have been a bad idea, because he was just all over the road both hands no the paper in front of his steering wheel.

If you see somebody doing something like this you can pull up beside them and honk and then do the "eyes on the road" gesture (index and middle pointed at your eyes, and then to the road).

One of the more entertaining road rage incidents I have seen was when I was behind this woman in an SUV who was in the left lane driving very eratically. She was wandering all over the road speeding up and slowing down oblivious to what was going on around her. When I was finally able to pass her I saw she was busy yapping away on the phone. When she looked over I shook my head exageratedly and made the "yapping" sign with my hand. From her reaction you would have thought I had given her the double pump bird and called her the "C" word. She was flashing her lights blowing her horn and driving like a mental patient trying to get around me. Of course I was laughing my a$$ off which only made her angrier.

My fiancee puts her makeup on and talks on the cell phone in her car, not SUV. But she does like Escalades, so deal with it.

She doesn't let it effect her driving (I have only seen her do makeup once or twice in a car, at that was at a red light) and we both talk on our cell phones often driving.

I'm glad she only puts on makeup while at a redlight, but if you think using a cellphone doesn't affect your driving I've got a bridge I can sell you.

What gets me is people buy these $30k, $40k, $50k and up vehicle and can't fork over $19.95 for a freakin' hands-free accessory for their phone!!

And, when you see that, call 911 and report a drunk driver. If they're weaving, heck, for all you know they're drunk :evil:
Cops will respond a lot more quickly, I'd bet!

agreed!

Curling the eyelashes is my favorite so far, I guess getting up 15 minutes earlier is out of the question

I'm not sure why I would know this, but I know my fiancee re-applies/adjusts makeup right before attending the event/going out/whatever.... so when she put the makeup on @ the redlight she probably either forgot to put on a certain piece of makeup or was readjusting some other piece.

Well that helps, but the argument has been made that handsfree is still bad for driving (requires concentration), even more so than a regular conversation in a car (the latter is able to change or stop for events in traffic, whereas a cellphone conversation is not as easily paused).

Man that's annoying... why is it that people can't do these things before they leave? I mean I've done things while driving but usually it's something that I HAVE to do in the car. Like search for one of my CDs that happen to be in my car, cause I want to listen to it. lol. Fvck, makeup can be put on while you're STILL AT HOME! Talking on the cell phone - WHY? It's like those people who always have to be doing too many things all at once, even while driving. Relax and just drive. I have a cellphone that's almost ALWAYS in my car, but you'll rarely ever see me using it. The only time I might possibly use the phone while actually driving, is if I'm doing a delivery for my job and my boss calls me mid-stride and needs me to turn around or do something else. Otherwise people can text message me, leave a voicemail message or just plain wait for me to call them back. What's the urgency? I Really doubt all these people on the road are talking on an emergency. So they have no real reason to be talking while driving, which is plain retarded..

On the subject of women driving ;)

Yesterday I was driving in pretty dense traffic, getting ready to pull out in a two lane left turn lane, and this lady puts on her blinker to turn into the lane I was in. There wasn't room for a car where she wanted to get in, but never the less she started turning anyway so I honked at her. Conveniently enough she stopped in the lane besides me and asked what the f*ck I was doing honking at her and started yelling. After calling her a stupid b*tch one time she asked me what I just called her; so I repeated it. She was ready to get out of the car and come beat me up! HAHAHA. I could care less.

Just because you signal that you want to turn does not entitle you to actually make a turn!

Yeah, it seems like almost no one actually uses turn signals correctly anymore. People either signal as they are already in the process of cutting you off or just don't signal at all.

Agreed 100% if you are running late, that is your fuggin fault not mine... and don't be sitting at a stoplight putting on makeup and not paying attention to the green arrow, I lay on the horn HARD when that sh!t happens.

Using a cell phone can affect one's driving. I HAVE to answer mine for work, so I put on the headset and just sit in the right lane doing the speed limit or 5 over until I'm done with the call. Though I will tell a person to hold on if the driving gets tricky.
People really don't mind if you tell them to hold on for a moment while you're driving.

They eventually learn their lesson.

I knew a guy back in high school that had a new truck (forgot what year model) and he was doing something in a parking lot and it tipped over and started to catch on fire. He just abandoned it, and the cops came to his house (since the car was registered under his dad's name) they were looking for his dad but his dad was out of town. Not sure what else happened after that.

What an idiot! Yeah, they were just going to let the truck sit there, formerly brand new, and not attempt to track the owner. I bet he's gotten far in life
