I remember in those good old days. That’s when you saw people — while driving — putting on make-up, reading maps, eating meals, smoking, reading the newspaper (seriously), and participating in animated arguments, among other things. We have always had a knack for driving distractedly.
I remember an old “New Yorker” cartoon from when cellphones first became popular. It featured an empty “telephone booth” with a sign that read, “Quiet place to talk $.25”.
Alcohol. You’d be horrified by how much drunk driving there used to be. Generally speaking, police didn’t care as long as you didn’t get in an accident.
I’m a bike commuter, because car ownership too expensive for me, and I gotta tell you folks: in general, y’all scare the bejeezus outta me the way you drive! I’m not a perfect, law-abiding cyclist, but I keep my head on a swivel, my ears open, and Im still nearly killed multiple times a week. I feel safest around the big rigs, they’re way better drivers.

My wife told me that I should express my feminine side, so I went out and wrecked the car

Well, I JUST don’t know!
A lady, somehow, landed on a huge boulder and her car was dangling on it…go figure! The cops were scratching their heads! No, it wasn’t me! LOL
