Top 10 things you should NOT do while driving

10. Read a book
9. Eat spaghetti
8. Change a dirty diaper
7. Work on a power point presentation
6. Wrassle an alligator (or a bear)
5. Juggle chainsaws
4. Give someone a haircut
3. Make balloon animals
2. Get a root canal

And the #1 thing you should never do while driving. . .

Pull out in front of someone who is going 60mph and proceed to drive 20 miles an hour UNDER the speed limit while you talk on the phone AND apply your makeup in the rearview mirror on a road where passing your slow moving **** is an impossible feat.

Thanks driver of a white Lincoln Towncar.

Some people shouldn't be allowed to breed. This was one of those people.

I am in hysterics at ALL of these comments. I could not agree more.

Put down your phone AND DRIVE!

Take this little challenge. Next time you are behind someone in the passing lane, refusing to get over, ease up beside them in the right lane. Look over and watch them talk on the phone, they may even be laughing. Now keep in mind, this person has absolutely no idea you are over there, nor did they know you were behind them. If I were a cop, I would shake these people up. I'll be glad when this is made illegal in all states.

It wasn't me this time. My white Lincoln Towncar is in the shop; and besides, I always apply my make-up before I hit the road.

Oh, I 'ease' up beside them alright. .windows down, horn honking and the one finger wave pointed in their direction. I make sure they see me before I blow their doors off and leave them wondering what the heck just happened.

Just as bad is:::::::::

The idiot that can't just sit and wait for a traffic light to turn green. They have to be texting and don't pay any attention at all when the light changes. Then they sit for 1/2 the light bebore going I guess to finish the text.

First it was drinking (Cup Holders)

Then eating ( Fast food places)

Shaving--putting on makeup--getting dressed. ( been around forever)

Then : talking on the cell phone

Now it's texting

Of course we now have a big TV screen in the cars to see whats on the radio and navigation and watch DVD's.

No wonder that some of the new high dollar cars now have crap that tells you when your tailgating or drifting out of your lane. Puts on the brakes for you if you are texting and don't see the car in front of you slowing down.

What ever happened to just plain driving and paying attention??????

Don't forget the car that parks itself. Thank you Lexus for making people even lazier and more unaccountable. I can see it now..."Officer, the accident is NOT my fault! I wasn't even driving!!" *sigh*

Gotta love the ditz's applying their makeup. It's fun to beep your horn and scare them into paying attention. Don't they realize that if they have an accident, there's a good chance that mascara brush is gonna wind up inside their eye? How are they gonna manage to do their make up then!?
