Road Assholery - What did you see? My favorite, it was morning rush hour at the Rt 78 entrance to the N.J. Turnpike.

Usual traffic is backed up at the entrance and I look over at the car in the next lane. He's got his left hand on the steering wheel and I his right hand, he is holding a bowl, probably cereal, with a spoon sticking out of it.

1. Have you ever seen women putting on their makeup

while they drive? Scary.

2. Too many times. Even mascara.

While stopped at a traffic light, I once saw a woman plucking out chin hairs with a tweezer. That is one of the very last things I want someone to see me doing.

6. Seen?

I was a passenger once while another woman was applying makeup while driving.


That was the first and last time I ever rode with her.

3. I was passed one time on I 90 west of Cleveland by a guy reading a paper propped on the steering wheel

That was way before self-driving cars. In the local paper last week, a woman hit a light pole trying to change her shoes while driving.

7. On the Boulder-Denver Turnpike, I also saw a guy with a newspaper on his steering wheel.

He also had an open cup of coffee in one hand.

8. Just wait

Self-driving cars are becoming more common. You're supposed to remain vigilant and take over the driving at any moment, when required. But many people are too complacent. The technology isn't foolproof, so interesting (and maybe dangerous) times will ensue.

11. The turnpike turkey was in the 1980s.

I have no doubt it's going to get worse. A week or so ago here in upstate New York, a State Trooper caught up with a car that was reported for driving erratically on an interstate.

The woman inside had her face pressed against the window... asleep. Her lane correction assisted steering kept her alive for six or seven miles. Then it took her off on an exit ramp, and she hit the corrugated strips along the edge, and she woke up.

4. Thirty years ago on Ventura Blvd. between Woodland Hills and Tarzana a woman in a Miata convertible shaving her legs

at every stop light. 😬
