about driving.


Today I was driving in the right lane of NY state route 25A. The speed limit in this particular section of the road is 50 MPH. I was cruising along when I noticed five or six vehicles ahead of me moving rather slowly. I could not yet pass since there were two vehicles coming up in the left lane. I eventually slowed down to 30 MPH to match the vehicles in front of me. After the two cars in the left lane passed I changed lanes and proceeded to go on my merry way.

As I was passing, I felt compelled to look into the car in the right lane that had been slowing traffic down. The reason for the slow down was that the man was more interested in picking his nose and inspecting it than paying attention to the road.

Suffolk County fines are 150 dollars for texting or talking on cell phones (without handsfree) while driving. This is understandable since they are distractions. Isn't nosepicking a distraction too? Perhaps a 50 dollar fine is in order for picking while driving. This way if I decide to roll down my window and ask the driver if they are digging for gold, my words will have more weight.

Hey, as far as I'm concerned they can pull over to the side of the road and dig until they reach China. However, NOT WHILE THEY ARE DRIVING!

If you wipe them on the steering wheel it helps you get a better grip so you don't have to wear gloves. That allows you to do even more picking.

It's called multi-tasking Mark. Some are not capable.
