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.

    My driving instructor always told me: “you must follow all the rules of the road until you get your license. Then you can break them all you want, but be prepared for the consequences.”

      That’s shitty teaching.
      When you break the rules of the road, others have to live with the consequences, too.
