Funny.
Reminds me on Friday I was driving home with my window open a bit. A wasp got sucked in though the window and ended up in my lap. I almost wet meself.
So there I was, driving along trying to keep my ass from touching the seat until I could get onto the hard shoulder and get that stripey yellow critter out the car.

"I believe that looking at the speedo is also not a good idea as humans are apparently not so quick at refocusing."
Which is what happens in accident blackspots because of the governments 'safety' cameras. Which begs the question, why place something in an accident blackspot which is going to make the driver focus more closely on the speedo rather than the road.

I shall drive straight home tonight - literally. I will not look up at traffic lights or left and right at pedestrian crossings nor will I look for my lights when it starts to get dark. I will not look down at road markings. All I will do is obey the law look straight ahead and put every fecker in hospital that I didn't see.

Blinking is very distracting, as is sneezing.
I trust Blair and Co Legal MoneySpinners Inc can draft some legislation this afternoon to combat this.

In-car entertainment will be next. New units must be designed to prevent you adjusting the controls while the car is moving.
