finally seen everything...

[flyingreg]

I thought I had seen everything a driver in a cage can/will do while driving a vehicle.

 

I have seen people having sex; getting dressed; putting on make-up including the false eyelashes; shaving; eating a meal, even a bowl of soup; reading reports, newspapers, books; talking on the phone; watching a movie on the DVD player; having a full blown verbal or physical fight with a passenger.

 

But today, I finally seen someone with a full size laptop pc on their lap doing work while driving in heavy traffic.

 

What other outrageous activities have you seen?

I saw a guy reading a newspaper in stop and go LA traffic once. That's not that unusual, but the way he was doing it, was. He'd sit there with the paper fully opened in front of him, totally blocking his view. When traffic ahead of him would move, he'd sit there. And sit there. And sit there. Eventually, people behind him would start to honk. That was his queue to lower the paper, and pull forward to where traffic had stopped again. At which time, he'd open the paper back up and the process would repeat.

 

Once I saw a Vegas-bound SUV full of guys driving along wiht a porno movie playing on all of the DVD screens in the vehicle.

I saw someone putting a route together on a GPS, one time, and he was on a motorcycle! Unfreakinbelievable.

For me it wasn't what he was doing while driving, it was how he was driving that had me dumbfounded.

 

one day about 10 years ago on the 405 I witnessed a man with his left leg hanging out the window, foot(barefoot) resting on the rearview mirror and passing on the shoulder. real POS car too, for some reason it always stuck out to me as one of those what the hell moments.

Well, I've seen some weird (IMHO) stuff while riding. Of course there are the usual drivers who turn their cars into mobile offices and/or restaurant tables.

 

Then there are the ones who need to get a room...in FLA I happened to look over and notice a couple engaged in an act that is probably still illegal in several southern states.

 

Three times in So Cal, I've noted people, ah....taking care of themselves while hurtling down the freeway.

 

Sheesh.

A few years back, we were driving to work from the Western 'burbs to Chicago on I88 coming to the "chute" (a ridiculous multi lane into one lane merge) during the morning rush, Deb and I saw a young kid in a VW Golf right next to us eating a bowl of cereal steering with his knees...we were slowing down from about 50mph

What other outrageous activities have you seen?

 

One morning, I saw a lady with three kids in the car driving with one hand and helping one child glue little trees to a piece of cardboard with the other. Apparently the little kid had a project due for school and was running late.

 

I can only hope that they did actually arrive at school.

What other outrageous activities have you seen?

My wife and I were driving our cage on the intersate one time and we both simultaneously said, "Hey those two cars up ahead are sure close together". As we slowly caught up to them it was apparent why they were so close - they were handing a beer bottle from one car to the other through the open windows! As we watched, they continued to pass beer between the two cars as the space between the cars got smaller or bigger as they went down the road. We realized that if they ever dropped one of those beers, it would come back right on us so we dropped back quite a bit. This was back in the pre-cell phone era so we couldn't call the police to report them.

Does shooting at each other on the 10 fwy count? (Not makin' it up!)

We saw a woman breast feeding a tiny infant about 4 miles from our house driving a blue Ford Taurus. I never did like those cars.

LOL!!!!

We had someone locally (Mpls) that would practice his trumpet playing on the way to work. He'd hold the sheet music on the steering wheel with one hand while playing with the other. I would think one accident and he'd end up eating the trumpet for breakfast.

Good thing he didn't play the harp.

I'm not sure this can top Russell's story, but while driving along in Phoenix on one of the freeways (no idea which), we pulled along-side a car where the driver was alone in the car watching some sort of porn flick. The odd/funny part was that it was approx a 25" CRT (tube) television in the passenger's seat.

 

We decided it was safer to just get as far away from the guy as possible.
