Multitasking

This morning, as I was driving through the Cahuenga Pass, I looked in my rearview mirror and saw this:

(Sorry for the image quality, the camera on my Treo is craptastic!)

Now, I have seen people do a lot of things while driving in Los Angeles. Eating and drinking, talking on their cell phones, putting on make-up, curling their hair, shaving their legs (one hand on the wheel, one leg on the dashboard), but this is the first time that I have seen someone reading and highlighting something while going 25mph. I can only assume that he was steering with his knees because his hands were full. His eyes were also nowhere near the road.

I changed lanes pretty quickly after that.

Heh! This post reminds me of the old Highway 17 Page of Shame that I used to read back when the web was new. Man, I miss that site.
