I've seen mobile phones and drinks being held by drivers but this morning a new one, someone driving towards me along Bengeo Street with a toothbrush in their hand! Not actually brushing their teeth but as they were manouvering past the parked cars the the Greyhound I was grateful for that!

Marilyn - I have seen a woman with hair straighteners[IMG]http://www.millan.net/minimations/smileys/frizz1.gif[/IMG] another putting on makup and a man shaving - another man playing a Nintendo DS! (no, it wasn't a sat-nav - it was a blue DS!) Not to mention numerous folk eating food and drinking out of coffee cups, juggling them whilst trying to steer etc.! *J*[IMG]http://www.millan.net/minimations/smileys/frizz1.gif[/IMG]

It just astonishes me that they consider it safe, obviously some drivers are so skilled as to be above the law and common sense! I have a mobile phone but it is not switched on if I am driving!

Fish and chips from a plastic tray that was being "balanced" on the side of the steering wheel has to be up there with astonishingly dangerous things to do when driving!

As a matter of interest, I heard on a radio programme that a mobile 'phone gives out the most radiation when travelling. Because as you leave one mast area the 'phone will automatically search for a new mast. So to avoid any health threats, we are advised to turn them off on trains, buses and cars (fat chance). P

People who wear MP3 players whilst driving get me. I've even seen a bus driver with earphones.
