    When I'm in my car/truck I don't really notice the crazy/silly/unsafe stuff that people do while driving. Probably because I'm watching tv or something. j/k I'm no saint by any stretch, but I pay more attention when I see bikes.

    When I'm riding my bike I pay way more attention to what drivers are doing or what they might do. Sometimes it makes me upset to see people doing dumb siht when they are on the road with me.

    I will start the list. Feel free to add to it.

    -eating
    -cell phone
    -oral sex
    -shaving
    -applying make-up
    -reading (books maps, newspapers)
    -rubber-necking
    -brushing teeth
    -combing hair
    -kissing
    -messing with kids in the backseat
    -leaning over to change radio or something (glove box)
    -sex (the girl was in the drivers lap facing him/her)
    -change lanes without using blinker or looking in mirrors (I fcukin' hate that)


    I'm sure there are more things that I've seen, but I'm tired from riding all day. My bike now has over 6500 miles. Hooray for me!!!

    - Driving an SUV in the fast lane trying to tailgate me

    You SUV people in fast lane make me nervous. I can out-brake you in my sports car, should I need to stop suddenly.

    Sweet bike

    the most amazingly Stupid thing I saw on a highway was in Puerto Rico of course, they dont quite understand highways there as everybody does 30-40 mph even when there is no traffic

    SO thankfully I was driving in 1 lane & this idiot woman was in the next lane.

    So her little brat is in the back seat carrying on and she STOPS HER CAR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY so she can smack the kid.

    Insane, I'm surprised she didnt cause a multi car pile up on that 1

    I wanted to get out of the car & scream at her

    It seems like everyday I see a woman in a toyota corolla, civic, etc. in the middle lane on the cell phone with a big rig like 6" off her bumper trying to get past. Can you really be that oblivious? Even if you have no idea how to use a rearview mirror, the truck must be casting a friggin shadow that close. Don't you wonder, "where did the sun go all of a sudden?"

    I've seen a lot of the things previously mentioned. Here's my additions:

    Smoking a bowl :mad:
    Reading the newspaper
    Eating a bowl of cereal - I swear
    Using their laptop in the passenger seat

    But I think my all time greatest was this girl in Hollyweird going down the 101 Fwy playing the tambourine. Mind you she wasn't just tapping it on her leg, she was rocking out with the thing using both hands (none on the wheel) at ~65mph with not a care in the world. Luckily traffic was light, but still...

    to add:
    changing clothes
    sleeping -

    on our way home from a midnight movie a small pickup was coming at us in OUR LANE....I started flashing our highs and leaning on the horn like crazy. I see him lift his head off of the steering wheel at the last second as we hastily exit the main road onto a cul-de-sac. He over compensated and rolled the truck over and it slid, upside-down, up a curb, through a fence and into a tree. I had to break the rear sliding window to pull him out. The guy was banged up and lost a front tooth (he looked like he had been pummeled by Mike Tyson), but otherwise ok. Saw him a couple of weeks later in Blockbuster - with his brand new Ford Ranger. He was a working two jobs as a painter and it caught up to him.

    I like watching TV while driving, it helps pass the time. I usually have to tailgate those SUVs though to get close enough, I wish they would start putting bigger screens in. No on-the-road porn lately, just CNN or SpongeBob.

    Very nice!

    But what's with the '9's (why not just use 'R's)?
