Driving while doing things you probably shouldn’t be doing while driving

September

This morning on the way to work, I saw a guy putting on his shirt in his convertible. He was stopped on Griffen Avenue at Weaver Street on the New Rochelle-Scarsdale border.

OK, that wasn’t really bad. The guy was stopped, no one was behind him.

But I’ve been talking with people a lot about things we do while driving that are not really condusive to steering and keeping an eye on the road. Eating, shaving, tweezing eyebrows. One guy tells me he once saw someone playing a guitar on I-684.

This comes about because Gov. David Paterson just signed that law banning texting while driving. It got me thinking: People were doing dopey things while driving long before there were cell phones and blackberries.

If you’ve seen any of this behavior out on the roads, let me know. I’d be interested for my story.

Thanks.
