i was putting some fire sauce on a crunchwrap from t-bell the other day and i crossed the center line and thought, man this is pretty dangerous.
how dangerous is your driving?
-
i'm great on interstate and a total hazard everywhere else. it's because i listen to podcasts or books on long drives but during short drives i text/email/reddit/snapchat/twitter/clash/bbs as much as possible.
-
I've been known to put on make-up while driving. I figure it can't be as bad as texting because at least I'm looking up

I'm pretty much the best driver on the planet, as you may expect. very cautious.
-
i will podcast AND bbs on long/interstate drives. you should try it bubs.
-
you guys know whats really hard is when i get a burger and im using my knee to hold the wheel while i squeeze out a couple of ketchup packets on the wrapper for my fries
-
On my bike I almost purposely tapped on the window of a lady texting in her car as she passed me in the bike lane. would have slowed me down though.

i don't plan it, i just have a pathetic attention span and if npr/bbc doesn't draw me in immediately then i check social media.

i've tried but i can't read/type and listen at the same time.
-
i do that too bubs, i mean if my phone makes noise its not like im not going to check it ya know?
-
Why can't people just drive and not do anything else? Take meds or something
-
if you can do both, then why not?
-
super dangerous. i'm kinda amazed i'm not dead yet.
-
Calculated risk and great instincts. Perfect safety record.
-
I don't have time to do all the other things at times when I am not driving. I'm a pretty good multitasker so it's still pretty safe.
-
I'm pretty amazed how many shitty drivers there are out there. It's not that hard and you guys are all dummies on the road.
-
No accidents in the past 21 years.
Gonna win 'em all!
-
Every one of you that does something other than listen to things while you drive are complete pieces of crap.
-
When I drive into work at 4:30am there is absolutely no on on the road. There are 5 traffic lights between my house and the interstate and I treat them all like 4 way stop signs.
Its quite the rush to roll up on a red light, make a quick check for other cars, then blast right through it.
Other than that I am a great driver!

There's nothing wrong with that. Should be legal.

I got a ticket for doing this in Manhattan in the early 90's. About 5 am on a Saturday morning, heading to an out of town rugby game. I figured the cop would just check to see if I was drunk and then laugh and give me a warning, but no! Probably rick's dad or uncle.
Gonna win 'em all!

I think they're joking

The other day I saw a guy driving down the road steering with his knee with a huge map unfolded in front of his face, trying to scrutinize it. I pulled up next to him, took a picture and texted it to my buds. They all thought it was hilarious. Very Griswold-esque.

It would have been even more lollerskates if the two of you had immediately crashed into each other and been horribly maimed. Like you end up with a leg off and a crooked back. Can you imagine? :lol:
-
Not dangerous at all, in spite of my stance on making an occasional "illegal" left turn. Never been in an accident.
The people who multitask while driving probably do a fine job of the non driving task but do a piss poor job of driving in a straight line.
-
i was following this suv the other day on bluemont and it was all over the place, ended up gunning it on a yellow so i could pass them. i at least dont take up 2 lanes when i txt and drive

I noticed Gooch hasn't posted in a while. Did you accidently run over him??? :Wha:

I more amazed that both of you are alive and well enough to tell that story. Cherish this moment, because when you're older you'll realize what a reckless bastard in two tons of sledge hammer you were.

I try to cherish every moment, thanks. I'm glad I have the picture as a reminder, because I was pretty wasted at the time.

Actually I think he was posting pretty prolifically yesterday compared to normal.

So you were a time bomb waiting to explode.

Was it because he witnessed your driving and wanted to live life while he is still able. T's & P's for Gooch. :blindfold:

I'm just trying save one lost soul at a time. :cheers:

i'm not joking at all
-
well now rustycat looks foolish.
-
I few days ago I said to Gooch, "If you are going to text and drive, at least learn to text with one hand."
-
I don't dick around on my phone while driving, but I go fast and swerve in between cars and stuff because I'm a total bad ass. No accidents in my life!

Seven huh? Accurate study

other people's driving is a danger to my mental health.
-
Seven huh? Accurate study
My informal and unscientific polling data gathered while running a couple of errands during lunch today indicate a number closer to 9 out of 10.

:driving:

I'm actually a fantastic driver. I've avoided multiple accidents because my defense while driving is so lock down you better just call me Matthew Dellavedova. I've also never been in a wreck while a passenger either...lucky you might say.
Exception: When i'm trying to open up some ranch to put in the lid of a McD's chicken nugg box and pouring fries into the side of the box as well, get out of the way because i'm going to be swerving all over the place.

You guys probably aren't as good at changing clothes while driving as I am.
-
if you can do both, then why not?
You can't do both.
