You've got to be kidding me! How do these supposedly correlate to each other? My wife and each have a TV in our respective home offices, one in the family room and one in the bedroom. I have three computer monitors in my office (I have latent geek tendencies). I haven't had a speeding ticket in 12 years (and I love to drive FAST!) and haven't been in an accident since 1981 and even then someone cut me off in the rain and THEY got the ticket! I can see where watching TV while driving a car wouldn't qualify you for the sharpest knife in the drawer award, but come on!
I've seen so many rear-end accidents on the freeways around L.A., and it's amazing how many SUVs are involved, and they're the ones doing the hitting. Yet every SUV owner I've ever talked to mentions how they love sitting up so high because they have a better view of the road. If you're sitting up so darn high, how come you can't see over that Miata in front of you and tell that traffic is slowing down?!?!?!?!?!?
I could go on and on about L.A. drivers, but you people have much more important things to do than listen to my rantings!
