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.

    No negativity taken. I’m sure I’ve seen worse regularly… Too regularly. To the point that I don’t bother committing it to memory at this point. People driving on the median or opposing traffic as a shortcut? Daily. People holding up an intersection to show off their sick burnout skills? A couple times a year.

    Most of what I’ve read in here though? I haven’t seen anyone so absorbed in not driving while driving.
