I actually saw this going through Denver! Bumper-to-bumper traffic and this woman kept ducking beneath the dashboard for something. When I got close enough to see, she was painting her toenails while driving!!!

I saw a driver who had a cell phone in one hand and his other hand was making motions that indicated he would love to beat the "day lights" out of the person on the other end of the cell call. And he was streering with his KNEES. I gave him all the room he wanted.

On a Highway going east I noticed a car that was drifting. About that time he crossed into our lane about 25 feet in front of us, then hit the shoulder on our side and flipped several times. The State trooper called us and said the man had been working on his laptop while driving.

This joker was steering with his elbows and occasionally his chin. Why? He was eating his bowl of Cheerios! His explanation for all his weaving and dodging? "I have to eat, don't I"?

I saw a man holding a cup of coffee and reading the newspaper with one hand, shaving with his other hand and driving with his knees. He did all of these things while detouring through a constuction zone. No, he wasn't successful, he rear ended the guy in front of him.

I saw this a couple weeks ago while driving through Casper, WY. A guy had the top down and was standing on the drivers seat steering the car through town. I watched him for about 5 minutes. Have no idea how he planned to stop.

A guy actually had an easel set up in the passenger seat with paints and several brushes and was painting a picture while we were going 70 mph down a major highway.

I was driving behind a woman who kept looking down in her lap and her arms were moving in a flapping motion. I couldn't imagine WHAT she could be doing! When she stopped at a light I had to honk to get her moving again. Finally I got along side of her and looked in her car. She was KNITTING!

This car ahead of us had a kiddie swimming pool on the roof. 3 kids in the car were leaning forward holding a part of the pool on the roof. The driver was driving with one hand and holding the pool also to keep from blowing away. I saw no ropes or tie-downs on this pool.

Driving down the 495 Interstate in MD, I once caught a gentleman playing his saxophone while cruising at 55 mph in his Suzuki Samari -- lucky it didn't flip!
