Things to do when behind the wheel (Pet Peeve)

I thought I'd share this picture with you guys & gals...

In this picture I'm on Preston Road, on my way to Frisco, TX nearing the Plano/Frisco boarder (Hwy 121) in bumper-to-bumper traffic; when I happen to look over and find this woman- apparently board with the traffic, deciding to read the new Harry Potter novel while driving.




It's days like this that I wish I was a cop driving an un-marked F-150.

...and here you are snapping pictures with a camera while driving

j/k, at least you weren't the one reading a novel.

BTW, get some Windex after that drivers window...

On my way to work a while back I passed a guy on the interstate PLAYING a guitar while his Ranger tried to drive itself...

This is why I'm getting an air horn. I love it when they blasted, get startled, jerk the wheel and run into something! Cracks me up every time!!!

Hey, I lived in the "In-Towne Suites" on Preston, just south of G. Bush Hwy for a year. Pretty good pizza place in front of the hotel. Went to Grace Outreach up the road.

Saw a SUV totally blow the light at the hotel, swerved to miss the person in front of me, who actually had the right-of-way, and almost rolled it over.

I miss Plano.

Dave
