text: why do people think they can drive and eat and talk on the phone at the same time? is there a law against using the cell phone while you drive? not joking.  i once passed a car with the driver eating a sandwich in one hand, holding his phone in the other, and a newspaper was laid out across the steering wheel!! we weren't in gridlock traffic either, it the was the freeway, and we were going fast!  he was weaving all over the road.  i had to swerve twice to avoid him!  this is just as bad as drunk-driving.  what possesses people to think that they can drive well while doing things like this?!
