Today it's texting, but it has been and always will be something. Back in the day it was futzing with the radio station dial, because if one was listening to a rather weak signal, one had to periodically adjust the dial to maintain contact with the signal. A person I knew of was doing this and drove into a ditch. It would have been a bit humorous based on who he was, but he did get banged up pretty badly and it was no longer funny. There were also people reading the newspaper and novels while driving. They placed them on top of the steering wheel and down the road they went. There were, and probably still are the guys who shave and the gals who put on makeup via their rear view mirror. Then there has been the problem since the car was invented, of people who insist on eating their hamburgers, tacos and such while driving.
