You jest (I think), but the first time I saw a blatant example of distracted driving involved reading.
I was in in Montgomery, AL, in 1999 driving my '71 Stingray. As I pulled alongside a blue Dodge Caravan, I noticed the driver's head was down. I thought he was falling asleep at the wheel and I was about to blow my horn...when I saw him turn a page in the book he was reading. We were doing 65 mph on I-85 at the time.
I accelerated briskly and got the hell out of there.
