I’m waiting for THIS

And since US states are dictatorships, you have no say whatsoever about what laws your state passes.

This one sentence statement hits precisely that whiny tone that a lot of libertarians get when they don’t like some law. “Why would the state government possibly care if I drive unsafely? After all, the only person ever killed in car accidents is the driver, right?”

The libertarian solution, presumably, is to have no driving laws whatsoever, and then simply allow lawsuits against drivers who fuck up and kill people. This does not address the issue, because a lawsuit cannot compensate a person for being dead. So we pass laws like the ones this dude is whining about. What’s not to like?

Please tell me you were being serious, that quote is so hilarious, but if I missed your sarcasm than I feel like a dork. Please tell me you meant it to be serious.

And for daylight use just cover your windows in opaque black paper. taDa! Instant home theater on wheels!

True story: One day on the way to work on a two-lane highway with a divided median, I come up behind this guy totally swerving across both lanes intermittently. I’m thinkin’ it’s a little early for this guy to be drunk. When he finally sticks to one lane, I move up to pass him quickly, and I glance over to see that he was shaving in his rear view mirror with an electric razor! Obviously he had his priorities strait. I guess everybody he nearly killed on the road that day had a close shave too. *drum hit*

They actually tested something just like this maybe 10 or 15 years back where the video was either reflected in the windshield or somehow embedded in it like a HUD. Seemed cool to me.

Where, when, and how did the collective “we” start to think that driving was one bit of our day that we could fit into a multi-tasking routine?

I hope this guy isn’t part of the gene pool.

Idiot. Don’t people know you hold the plate in your non-dominant hand, while that hand is also holding the wheel, and you stuff the food in your face with a fork held by the other? Sheesh.

And the proper method for eating a taco- I won’t go into details, but it involves your left knee.

Road Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations 1986/1078
(as amended)

109.— Television sets

(2) In this regulation “television receiving apparatus” means any cathode ray tube carried on a vehicle and on which there can be displayed an image derived from a television broadcast, a recording or a camera or computer.

…and before anyone gets all barrack-room lawyer and says ‘ah, but sub-section 2 refers to CRTs’, my experience is that judges are not actually ignorant literalists and can readily interpret the law as encompassing subsequent developments in display technology.

Remember, when you’re driving you are in command of one or two tons – perhaps much more – moving at speeds several times faster that you can run at. You did not evolve to do this and so any distraction from your hard-learned skills that let you do so is Not A Good Thing.

And why did we replace the word “man” with “gentleman”? The term implies good breeding, education or sophistication. None of that is implied by the silly actions of this future traffic accident.

What a moron. Although not the stupidest thing I have seen people do while they drive.
last week, while in traffic, I saw a woman eating a plate of waffles. Not a styrofoam container from a fast food place, but an actual PLATE, balanced on her steering wheel.

That’s when I would have pickd up a phone and called 911 to report the person for reckless driving.

I seem to remember an episode of the Red Green show where they stuck a movie screen on the hood of a car. It was a drive-in you could drive around!
