I'll confess. Will you? My father once bought a car without a radio. I drove it with a transistor radio on the dash. Once when I reached to catch it sliding across the dash while making a fast turn I ran into a curb and bent the front suspension. I told my father I had been cut off by some crazy woman driver. He bout the story but made me pay for the repair. (I still blame him. Who the hell buys a car without a radio?)

Raised 3 kids...so yes, have driven distracted many times. By the third kid, it was all white noise to me while driving.

I have, I strive not to. Driving is literally one of the most lethal activities any of us engages in in a regular basis. I was particularly struck by this study, indicating talking to someone on the phone, even on a hands free device is equally dangerous to drunk driving.

Life is a battlefield and we all must die. There is only one thing to say to death "not today."

Sadly, all the examples of tragic outcomes in auto safety classes have never helped. People merely react with the same well-worn response, "Yeah, but that only happens to 'other people'".

Anybody who says they've never driven distracted is either lying or has never driven! :)
