Wow! That's just ridiculous. What on earth could be so important that this woman would think endangering her child and others is worth it.

And we thought texting was an issue?
Who thinks like that?
Her neighbors should give her a giant box of pacifiers. Here, stick these in the mouth of your child till you can get somewhere safe, pull over, and then give them your breast.

You would be surprised how many times I've seen someone say they saw a woman changing a baby's diaper on the highway while driving. Somehow this doesn't shock me.

 

[Blank Stair]

That's ridiculous! As Teegan observed, who thinks to endanger their child, themselves, and others on the road doing that nonsense?
How does a mother not pull into a safe place and do these things?
I thought seeing a woman curling her eyelashes and then putting on all her makeup while in rush hour traffic was bad. Until I saw a guy reading the newspaper that was laid out across his steering wheel while driving. I kid you not.
But this is beyond all those.

A radio station had people call in things they were seeing one morning.

The best were a truck driver eating soup (bowl and spoon), and a man practicing juggling.

Then pull over. I can remember a few (very few) sections of road where there is no place to pull over for a few miles, but a few minutes of a child crying is better than a lifetime of regret for a child's death.

It's the people who are using electric razors and putting on makeup that get me...

WAKE UP 10 MINUTES EARLIER YOU MORONS.

The person I saw who was eating what I assume was cereal from a bowl scared the heck out of me I quickly sped up to get past them.

This.

When I saw the title of the thread I had a horrific thought about what an airbag would do to a baby.
