Don't get distracted and read this while driving

Several years ago I was a passenger in a large van driven by a colleague of mine. She had borrowed the vehicle in order to transport a group of us to and fro Schweitzer Mountain.

Several of us treated ourselves to ice cream cones for the ride home. Then, much to our horror, our driver proceeded to make a cellphone call with one hand while holding her cone in the other and steering, I kid you not, with her knees.

She then bragged about her ability to multi-task. This woman had six backseat drivers yelling at her to pay attention to where she was going and thankfully she didn’t run into anything. But, talk about distracted driving.
