Lighting a fag alone means that you MUST take your eyes off the road. talking on the telephone. Its about deflected concentration. I dont smoke but i could light a cigarette without looking away from road, thats why theres a cigarette lighter. Having something burning in your hand and smoke in your eyes? doesnt sound great either. But I think a lot of tosh is believed about two hands on the wheel, 10 to 2 and crossing hands, it was all written when cars had worm gear unpowered steering. You could drive all day with one hand and cause no danger, they havent made auto compulsory as a safety measure have they? The problem is lack of attention and judgement, not managing the apperatus. -- Mike Remove clothing to email |

On the particular moment of Wed, 28 Nov 2007 08:25:58 +0000 in
relation to Mary's disappointingly immaculate rumpy pumpy, Mike... put forth: Following up to "'Mike'" wrote: health or driving? -- Driving.

Lighting a fag alone means that you MUST take your eyes off the road. talking on the telephone. Its about deflected concentration.

Having something burning in your hand and smoke in your eyes? doesnt sound great either. You also have to get the cigarette packet, take a fag out, find the lighter, light it, and eventually put it out, all the while dealing with smoke inside the car. Of course I'm a pleasure nazi for suggesting it might be dumb. -- --- DFM - http://www.deepfriedmars.com --- -- |
