He shouldn't be, thats just as dangerous as being on the phone or eating a pie.

they should add pie eating at the wheel into the driving test, at least make people safer when doing it.
Took me years and 4 cars to master eating a Big Mac at the wheel.

In that case it won't be long before he loses his other arm....or his life for that matter. Believe me, I work in trauma theatres in a hospital. I've seen it all. And when you see a 19 year old lose both his legs through someone else speeding - well, that's when you realise people just shouldn't do it.

When you are driving, you should be driving. Not talking on the phone, eating a Big Mac, smoking, turning round to talk to your children in the back, reading, or anything else. Concentrate on your driving, remembering that you have a responsibility to other road users, as have they to you.

no mention of cutting up a nice fillet steak in your list of "do not's". Just out of curiousity (& I'm not being a clever devil), do you listen you the radio / music while you are driving ? I have a (seemingly) endless collection of audio books that i enjoy while I'm eating up the miles - on a long journey, they are priceless.

I do indeed, I listen to my MP3 player while singing along loudly and doing all the moves while steering with my knees and changing gear with my elbow
