Don’t Shave and Drive

Talking on the phone. Eating a burger. Shaving. Arguing with your girlfriend. Beating your children in the back seat.
These are all things that can get you or someone else killed on the hi-way.
I saw a guy with shaving cream all over his face and a razer in his hand, using the rear view to shave while driving 60 mph on a busy hi-way. Three questions: how do you wash off the excess cream, Why can’t you just shave at home and are you a frikkin’ moron? The last one is probably a yes.
Little children can be a terrible distraction. And that is even before they get in that minivan. If mom is all frazzled from the kiddies pounding on each other and spilling their drinks, how are her driving skills being affected? Yes, even children shouldn’t’t drink while mom is driving. Her mind won’t be on the road if that grape juice or soda pop is all over the seat and the floor.
We all know not to drink and drive. Impaired driving can get you in a lot of trouble. Lately, studies show that talking on a cellphone can be almost as dangerous. Most people will agree that distracted driving increases your risks on the road.
What do you think, and are you going to do anything about it if you are an offender? (I know, Ernie, I am on the phone on the road all the time. Maybe I should figure out a solution that works for me with the business calls).
Anyone care to comment?
