What’s the craziest thing you’ve seen someone driving do?

My kid’s just finished the classroom part of driver education and it prompted a discussion of crazy things we’ve seen other drivers do.

The craziest thing I saw, many years ago now, was I came up behind a guy driving a Ford Ranger pickup and could see through his rear window that he was doing tricep extensions with a dumbbell in his right hand. I was more surprised as I passed to see he was shaving with an electric razor in his left hand. I don’t really know how he was steering.

Kiddo said they were told personal grooming was the fourth leading cause of accidents.

Watch Lord of the Rings on a phone mounted on the steering wheel. I called the police immediately.

As you should. That movie deserves a bigger screen and decent sound setup. Watching it on a phone is criminal.

Shockingly, watching videos while driving is not illegal in many US states (some it's ambiguous, others there's simply no law that actually bans it)

Strange. In the Netherlands you get a big fine even for talking on the phone without any screen interaction. Just holding it to your ear is already forbidden.
