A recent study has determined that more than eighty percent of motor vehicle accidents are the result of drivers being distracted--talking on cell phones, for example, or sending text messages. This has led many jurisdictions to enact laws forbidding the use of these devices while driving. Some of us would like the law extended to prevent the use of such devices also in restaurants, public transit, and bank lineups.
Meanwhile, here is a list of other activities considered dangerous distractions. While driving, one should not:
* Barbecue a chicken
* Practice yoga--especially the lotus position, even if one is driving a Lotus
* Dance the tango--slow fox trot still permitted
* Post an entry on one's blog. Oops! Sorry, fella.
