I drive the Alpharetta Autobahn (GA 400) 2 hours/ day, and at this point, I think I've seen it all.
I see so many women doing their makeup while driving it makes me sick. And people reading- newspapers, novels, porn, it's amazing.

What's the worst that you've seen?

I always shave when go to work (it would be nice to have a electric interior mirror with position memory).
I used to read the newspaper, but have quit that.
Now i stuff my imate Jasjar with webcasts and podcasts related to my work and listen to them. I would like to see them in my car TV but the damn thing still hasn't a sd slot

When I was commuting to law school, saw a girl in an Accord practicing her VIOLIN. And oh yeah, it was a stick, and she was in the center lane.
This was also on the Alpharetta Autobahn.

Tell me about it. Driving to the office this morning on the M50, I looked over to my right
and there was a woman in a brand new BMW doing 90mph with her face up next
to her rear view mirror putting on her eyeliner! I looked away for a
couple seconds and when I looked back she was halfway over in my lane, still
working on that makeup!

It scared me (I'm a man) so badly, I dropped my electric shaver, which
knocked the cereal bowl out of my other hand. In all the confusion of trying
to straighten out the car using my knees against the steering wheel, my mobile
phone fell away from my ear - this then fell into the coffee between my legs,
splashed and burned Big Dave and the Twins, ruined the damn phone and DISCONNECTED
AN IMPORTANT CALL!

BEWARE OF WOMEN DRIVERS!!!
