Geez, now she has the all the time to look her prettiest behind bars

The grossest that I see people do while driving is brushing their teeth. I don't want to even think where the hell do they spit

The guys shave with their electric shave and the women put on their make-ups.
If people only wake up another 5 minutes early

Everyone is so focused on texting and cellphone use, many other distractions going on in cars.

Dude--texting while driving is bad. Don't lump it in with talking on a cell.

When will these ignorant idiots get it!!?? You must be focused on whats goin on around you when your behind the wheel!! Just the other day I was on the freeway and came up on a car that was straddling lanes and couldnt stay in one lane we thought the person was drunk, Well when we pulled along side it was some moron putting on eye shadow while talking on her cell phone and steering with her knee!!!!!!!! Im not sure how she could see the road ahead of her because her face was pasted in the damn mirror!! We were in complete shock!!!!!!!! These are the things that cause innocent people to lose their lives. This s*** is just plain insane!

It appears she stated to the cop that she was doing her nails. What did she believe that would buy her? Mitigating circumstances? This woman should not be allowed behind the wheel of anything for the rest of her life.
