What you do while driving

[DarrenX]

I have a boring 80 mile daily round trip commute. Here's a few things I do in traffic that may or may not be typical:

- change into workout clothes (if I don't, I won't go to the gym)

- read

- Su Doku

List what you do while driving along with the total number of car accidents with which you've been involved. Me- 1 (rear ended).

Listen to news talk radio or music. Pretty standard I'd guess.

I suspect my 0 accidents is connected with my general attention being given to driving and not reading, changing, etc.

I drive while I'm driving. I've been in one car accident, and that was a drunk driver crossing over to hit me.

You do these things while you're driving? You're part of the bunch that I hate, along with the eaters, phone-talkers, and make-up-doers while driving.

0 accidents. I usually sing along with my cd's. That's about it.

Yes, I do eat and talk on the phone as well. No make up, though. The reading and Su Doku I try to limit to stoplights, but I do catch myself occasionally filling in numbers on the expressway. OCD, I guess. Sometimes it's scary to look up at traffic and wonder how long it's been between glances. I've been driving for 16 years and caused no accidents (that I'm aware of), so I think it's something a person can handle with practice.

The line between Grand Theft Auto and real driving blurred a few years back, now I just focus on "threading the needle" and winning at all costs.

4 accidents, all my fault, rear end collisions.
No deaths or injuries though.

I get stuck behind a ups truck everday, and I drive slowly until I hit a good straightaway.

and I also have invisible lasers that come out of the corners of my car that I shoot stuff with, mostly trees and telephone poles.

"and I also have invisible lasers that come out of the corners of my car that I shoot stuff with, mostly trees and telephone poles. "

i do this too, but i also shoot the cars going in the opposite direction. my lasers come in varying speeds, depending on how fast the oncmoing cars are going. also, if i'm in the far right lane, the cars just left of me going in the same direction can block my shots, which adds another level of difficulty.
