Most Dangerous?

What's the most dangerous of the
following activities to perform whilst
driving?


None have been explicitly outlawed,
to my knowledge, but I've first hand
seen people do them all. ()

Re: Most Dangerous?

Driving and breastfeeding? you've got to be kidding. I take it you've never done it, not easily done while driving and very dangerous for the babe. Jail time for anyone doing that one. (the mom in me speaking out)

Definitely breast feeding.

She says she can't reach the gear stick and the handbrake lever really hurts my ribs.

Seen it myself SPPalfa, before I left the
UK so about 12 years ago. M6/M5 in the
outside line, although the traffic wasn't
moving very fast.

Re: Most Dangerous?

I think we have a winner with the breast feeding
(even I voted for that) but is it really the most dangerous
in terms of car control/driving or are we all just
knee-jerking due to the risk to the baby?

I always remember a BBC science show (maybe T.W. ?)
that ran some experiments with bus drivers and
bottles of whiskey and I seem to rememeber
that the bigest drop in driver awareness/skill was after
the first 2 shots........

Not suprised if you arm a bus driver with a bottle of whiskey and a gun - you must be living in Alabahama Nev

Re: Most Dangerous?

I haven't seen breastfeeding behind the wheel, but I see plenty of dogs sitting on the driver's lap while motoring. The other day I saw one driver with two lapdogs. That one really irks me.
