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.

Of course I've seen people shaving, reading a book, playing flute, playing violin, but the best is a woman who looked like Jocelyn Wildenstein in a top $$$ Mercedes drinking a Corona beer from the bottle, I'm pretty sure it was her.

In the car: lady fully putting on mascara in a rainstorm

With a car: also raining, guy speeding doing 100 in a 65 with no lights on. Wife pulls the car onto the highway and he almost hits us, jerks left and 360s in this long, slow (in my memory it's slow, probably happened in like 4 seconds) spin and comes to a dead stop facing perfectly forward and in the dirt of the median. Watched him turn on his lights and start to pull forward before we were out of sight

He must have been training for the Over The Top arm wrestling competition.

I've climbed out of the passenger window across the roof and back through the window of the door for the seat behind the driver while my friend was driving us around once.

E: oh yeah this friend didn't have his license at the time either
