no hands driving

Just saw this guy driving down Gungahlin Drive.

That’s right on the phone and eating a pie.

I will give him credit for doing the speed limit when most people speed there.

Note: I was a passenger when I took the photo.

Face..

They were on a motorcycle. Riding and shaving ain’t as dangerous as it sounds.

Caf wins by a whisker

They were doing the bean.. mirror turned doing about 100 clicks.

People are weird and the speeds are too slow. Make the speed faster their attention doubles

Is it just me, or does he also have a wireless Bluetooth headset in his ear too? Bit hard to tell on my
iPhone.

So he is on two phones (obviously he is brokering a deal between the buyer and seller) while eating his pie.

Definitely winning Charlie Sheen style.

I once drove 80km without touching my steering wheel. In the end, after 45 mins I got thirsty so had to grab the wheel while I leant back to reach into the esky.

You’re not the guy who hit Stephen King are you? That’s exactly what was happening when King was nearly killed. That would make you just perfect! (Sarcasm: I love King’s books.)

Oh how I wish the airbag would deploy as he’s eating it, there’s nothing I would imagine worse than scalding pie filling in one’s eye.

Sauce of mirth

And here we have a wonderfull display of somone who obviosly survived the stupidity of his youth, and decided that his continued living was an opportunity to see how far he could push his luck.

I hope he dosn’t end up like the passenger in Chifley’s commodore, however, I also hope that if he does take himself out one day by continuing to drive like an idiot, that he takes no one else with him!
!

The difference being that pie-Eater can apparently successfully control his vehicle in the manner illustrated without crashing his car.

Really?

Yes, really. Heading South from Albury. Some time in 1990, roughly, before Ivan Milat took all the fun out of driving by scaring all the backpackerettes off the roads permanently

Anyway, moving right along.

I notice he seems to have quite an interesting expression on his face, almoast satified, I think he really does like his food!

I also remember reading something recently about study’s showing eating and driving to be comparable to phone usage while driving, however I’m not sure of the validity.

In all honesty, I have to put my hand up and admit i tend to eat behind the wheel a bit!

Haha what a total penis.

That’s what he’s using to do the steering!

Haha what a total penis. I hope this picture gets back to him.

did your next snap get his number plate by any chance?

how did he stop the pie from dribbling over him though?

Chuck Norris.

Really?

I assumed a life of trolling entailed very little driving, or leaving your home.

Or was this a video game?

Honestly mate, I’m not going to bite, I doubt that’s true, it’s just another one of your little stories to try and goad the reaction you thrive off, and I’m not interested in your little game!

how did he stop the pie from dribbling over him though?

Appears to be driving a Volvo S40/V40, just for added “safety is my main concern” irony.

The art of steering a motor vehicle with one’s beer gut.

You should try it, once you’ve developed a beer gut.

While I completley agree, I also need to thankyou for the way you wrote that.

My mind got itself very caught on “Oh how I wish the airbag would deploy as he’s eating it” which is a very interesting mental image on it’s own!

I’m not sure what all the fuss is about he obviously has an automated vehicle which are far safer that most Canberra drivers!

or the art of steering with your knees.

It’s probably a pie gut.

Who ate all the pies?
Who ate all the pies?
You fat bastard,
You fat bastard,
You ate all the pies!

Perhaps the pie was just THAT good he had to tell somone?

Google employee in self-driving car?

Mmmmmmm pie

Reprobate said :

Pfffft, only talking on the phone not texting. Soft.

Now that is a very assumptive comment!

You have no idea what this man is doing with his toes!!!

For all we know he’s plaving the banjo too, and FFS, i wouldnt put it past him!

Pfffft, only talking on the phone not texting. Soft.

It’s funny, we’ve just had a topic that ended up discussing stupidity in youth, and how lucky so many of us are not to have been killed by the idiotic lapses of reason we displayed growing up (I say that knowing fully well I’m not done yet)

And here we have a wonderfull display of somone who obviosly survived the stupidity of his youth, and decided that his continued living was an opportunity to see how far he could push his luck.

I hope he dosn’t end up like the passenger in Chifley’s commodore, however, I also hope that if he does take himself out one day by continuing to drive like an idiot, that he takes no one else with him!

I’d also be willing to put money on the fact that this guy has complained about Older or younger or international/interstate drivers acting like idiot’s!

It’s OK, he’s got cruise control.

I will give him credit for doing the speed limit when most people speed there.

Speed cameras are obviously doing their job. I feel so much safer.
