My financial controller is taking an online defensive driving course to get an insurance discount. Her computer in our home office is only a few feet away so I can hear the audio. In one section of the course, they went over the things you should not do while driving.
First, you are not supposed to use your cell phone. Not for talking or texting. Then, you are not supposed to read while driving. Smoking or drinking (even coffee) are on the don’t do list. Eating is out too. Don’t change radio stations or put in a new CD - you should do this before you leave. And, keep conversations with passengers at a minimum (I like this one).
True story, while driving in Dallas traffic during the morning rush hour I followed a woman that was using the rearview mirror to put on her make up and brush her hair, while she was eating a fried chicken leg. Since I had no opportunity to pass for a few minutes, I watched her. She really did get the hair brush and the chicken leg mixed up and brushed her hair with the chicken leg.
My question is, if one is not supposed to do all the things they say in the driving class, what can one do?
Maybe, find that woman and watch her brush her hair.
