So..it looks like the Dis community has been keeping law enforcement busy today... ;)

I was just wondering what you may have seen other drivers do while you were driving? Things that may have struck you as odd, shocking or funny...try to keep it kinda clean folks;)


I am astounded when driving down the 101 to see a woman lighting up a pipe.. not tobacco... she was in a van.. kids in the back...

Some guy yesterday thought his dog counted as a passenger in the Carpool Lane... I found that amusing.

Once in a traffic jam last spring, I saw a man tried to balance what looked like a rolled up report on his head. :p

I saw someone changing shirts a few months back while driving down the road. She gave everyone within sight quite a show! :o

Nothing out of the ordinary, unless you count reading the newspaper while driving in the left lane :rolleyes:

But if you happen to be driving on the Eisenhower Expressway (I-290) you just might catch ME singing or even "dancing" if my song is on!

we were driving home one day and a lady behind me put her whole entire face on while driving, going at least 60mph plus she curled her hair with one of those braun hair curling irons then sprayed it and then added cologne she was using one of those little mirrors. I couldnt believe it. My husband kept stepping on the brakes so she would smear her makeup.;)

Dh just came home with this today. He drives a step van so is a little higher up than cars. He was beside a woman today, and she was practicing magic! Making coins dissapear, and reappear, rolling them between all her fingers, etc. He said it was pretty cool.

Today a man in front of me started weaving all over the road. It is an 80 K. road and he was doing 85. He slowed down and I passed him. He was on a computer typing and looking at something else as well.

After 300,000+ miles I've seen a lot.

* Makeup application
* Tooth brushing
* Newspaper reading
* MAD Magazine reading :p
* Mooning
* Two in the drivers seat ;)
* Someone nodding off (that was scary)
* A front seat passenger "disappearing", must have been looking for something they dropped ;)
* Lots of drunks

I've been known to change my Clothes while driving in Windy City or should I say sitting in traffic.

I was on Veteran's Parkway here in Springfield... I was following a white mini van with a woman driving and I really thought she was having problems with the steering on her car... She would swerve into the left lane and then pull it back to the right... She kept doing this until she pulled into a gas station, that we just happened to be going to also... When I got a closer look, she was feeding her infant child in the front seat...:mad:

Putting on make up, reading papers that are resting against the steering wheel, eating (holding container in one hand and utensil in the other!)

I always feel like people are staring at me when I'm rehearsing my lines in my car. I'm in community theatre, and usually have my lines on a tape, and I rehearse them while driving. Sometimes I use my hands and my face for expressions while doing this, and I always wonder what people must think of me. :D

mskani--I thought that was you I saw singing and dancing on the Eisenhower! ;)

I've seen quite a few men shave with an electric razor, or women putting on makeup, or even reading books and newspapers. The grossest thing I have ever seen though was someone vomiting into what looked like a Kleenex box on the highway going about 60 mph. Geez, couldn't they at least pull over???

I read or stitch all the time if I'm stuck in stop-and-go traffic -- the kind where you'll stop for a minute (literally), move about 3 cars, stop for a minute..... I hate wasting time like that, so even if I only get 3 lines read or 3 stitches in, at least I don't feel I'm wasting my time. :p

Now, moving down the freeway... nope. Worst I've done there was taking quick notes on something (like, writing one or two words).
