Driving is a full time job, especially with some of the crazy's on the road today. People eating, reading books, talking on phones, shaving, combing hair, putting on lipstick, etc. Two years ago I saw a woman with a book in the steering wheel, hamburger in her right hand, cell phone in left hand and steering with her knees.  |
Doesn't take much to compromise 50 year old fiberglass! That sucks for him!
We really don't take my Harleys out much anymore due to what you said above. Driving in the DC metro area we've seen it all. My two best moron stories involved one dude driving 75 mph the highway with his left foot on the dash, guitar in his lap, left hand on the neck and right hand strumming, musta been on cruise control, he was steering with his right knee in rush hour traffic! The other traveling 80 mph with an open laptop STRAPPED to the steering wheel and phone in left hand. These types need to hit bridge abutments!!
