A woman was driving in front of me very slowly so I passed her. Saw her headlights were off and her face was practically glues to her smartphone. The glow on her face was bright enough to see her at night so I can't imagine she could see anything in front of her. I was happy to see blue lights behind me and watch her get pulled over. Idjit.

In all fairness, no need to single out Florida here.

The "putting on makeup" while driving stories always make me shudder because of something I witnessed as a child. We drove by a car accident right after if happened and apparently the female driver had been attempting to apply mascara while driving. The mascara brush was impaled into her left eye, clear up to the handle.

*shudder*

Isn't "be Floridian" answer enough?

All I know is that she survived the accident. Her lungs seemed to be unimpaired because she was screaming and freaking out pretty loudly about the mascara wand in her eye.

I saw plenty when I lived in Fort Lauderdale the worst was probably the old Canadian couple driving the wrong way around the islands in Hollywood ."je me souviens" apparently means we fark up traffic.

I once saw an old lady cutting coupons from behind the wheel. And she wasn't using safety scissors either; she had those one step below hedge clipper kind.

Farding in the car.

I once saw a guy smoking, talking on a headset, eating a breakfast burrito, and picking his nose while driving on the freeway. He looked Vietnamese or Thai. I was amazed he could bite into a burrito with a cigarette hanging from the side of his mouth. Can't imagine how his conversation sounded.

Was also stuck behind a woman who kept rubbing her face and hair all over like she had a nervous tic. Or maybe she was covered in ants. She kept veering towards the ditch.

My personal favorite was when I was on a very long four lane bridge in the passing lane behind a little old lady doing 40 in a 65 (Jacksonville). The slow lane was moving faster and I could not pull into it.The car behind me didn;t see her and was honking, flashing brights, giving me the finger, etc. I finailly had a chance to get into the right lane and pass her, and while I moved over the idiot behind me hit the gas, and was more intent on screaming at me than watching where he was going - slammed into her, spun into the slow land and got creamed by a car behind me totally blocking that side of the bridge. I stopped and made sure the police knew the fault was totally his.

That happens in GA all the time.

I have a terribly short fuse with people who proudly exclaim that they excel at multi-tasking. Bragging about being 'able' to do 4-5 things half-assed is perplexing at best. It's like people who claim to be 'perfectionists'... (aka: "I'm a controlling micromanager who cannot work well with others")

Maybe he was talkin' bout China Grove.
Woh oh oh. Oh oh.
China Grove.

Well she definitely shouldn't have been taking it to the streets like that...

Spanky McStupid: What about that chick who shaved her legs while her husband drove her to her date?

//Florida: Not only for farking dumbasses

If I recall correctly, it wasn't her legs...

I once downloaded itunes on my ipad while driving in downtown dc during rush hour
