When I was working at TI I would come off 295 onto 95 north and have to get off right away again at 152. In that short distance , there is a lot of traffic , on top of that people coming onto 95 and leaving 95. Its very hectic and your survival instincts say you should be paying attention.

I regularly saw woman with a cell phone in one hand , doing their makeup in the rear view mirror with the other and by default , since I could see both hands , they were steering with their knees.

Anyway , funny story Buzz!

Spotted an elderly male with a cigarette, yapping on a cell phone, and a patch over one eye in my rear view mirror at a light a month or so ago.

I moved over into another lane asap...

HAHA! Love it

Bad drivers come in all shapes, sizes & genders thats for sure! I've seen a woman reading the paper, a man using his laptop, etc. but one thing I will never forget is a night about 15 years ago when we were Cape bound camper in tow, after work (late, about midnight) hubby couldnt drive anymore and was exhausted. I took the wheel while he slept and had 495 S to myself, easy cruisin right? 20 minutes later flying out of the darkeness a convertible (yes with top down) SCREAMING by me (well barely, missing the trailer is more like it) I was doing 75 watched the car swerve from grass to grass, they had to be doing over 100 MPH and thought there was no way in hell I wasnt going to pass this car and dead body in another minute or two. Never did, but I to this day will never forget that and have no idea how people can drive that way (had to be 5 sheets to the wind) . People do so scary azz stuff......

Simplify.......
