The distracted

We all get distracted from time to time, however, some drivers have developed distraction to a fine art.

Perhaps the most obvious are those who persist in believing that it is safe to use their mobile phones or other communication devices on the move.

I've seen truck drivers watching TV, drivers reading newspapers, map readers and drivers trying to control their kids .

Then there was the lady who commuted from Birmingham to London and found the journey so boring that she devised a contraption to strap 'puzzle books' to her left knee.

She did this so that she could while away the journey by completing crosswords and other brain teasers (although she didn't have a clue when she was stopped by the police!).

Still, if you are a compulsive reader or puzzle book addict, your 'hobby' will be useful to pass the time if you are faced with a long convalescence period (after you crash).
