Hug Twice

Last weekend I was driving to the grocery store, and the car in the lane next to me started inching out of its lane into mine just as I started to pass it.  I made a split-second decision to speed up and pass the car versus hang back out of its way, because it was not going very fast (nowhere near the speed limit) and there were a line of cars behind it and would be behind me if I started going that slowly.

As I passed, I looked over into the car, and the driver was lounging in his seat, talking to the person in the passenger seat, and not using his hands to drive!  Maybe he was driving with his knees, I didn’t stop to look closer.  I wanted to get far away from the crazy no-handed driver.

I didn’t see a cell phone or food or anything that explained the no handed driving.  Not that anything would make it better but this I just didn’t understand.   He looked like your average mid thirties/early forties person… driving with no hands.  i could even see his hands, they were in plain view.  Just not on the steering wheel, or looking like they were going there anytime soon.

What are people thinking?  Crazy.
