Car-tiquette

By Sandi | July 14, 2010

While my kids and I were driving around yesterday, I realized something….

You know how there’s a whole group of people all pissed off about people driving and talking on the phone at the same time? And they all get their panties in a wad about keeping attention on the road when driving, and then the talker/drivers get their panties in a wad about how they are totally coordinated enough to do both, and everyone ends up sitting around in wadded panties while no solution has been soluted?

Or those people who gripe about people who drive while eating, because they MUST be totally distracted and they SHOULD be paying attention to the road with BOTH hands?

Or those other people (like me) who get terrified at the site of someone eating while putting on makeup while reading the newspaper and on the phone and looking at a map in the car?

Yesterday I realized something. The absolute MOST distracting thing of all? Driving with children. Especially when they’re throwing a fit. It’s horrible. There IS NO CONCENTRATING ON DRIVING. There is only insanity at their ridiculous fit/complaining/crying/screaming/stupid argument. Can we start a movement for THAT? CARS WITHOUT KIDS?
