I drive for a living. My viewpoint is 9 feet in the air, and you wouldn't believe the distractions I see other drivers involved in. I see texting, eating, makeup, reading, maps, gps programming, dialing phones, fights, and one topic we will call other. I have found that a good whack on the air horn wakes people up as they realize that they are about to do something incredibly stupid in front of something that weighs 40 tons. Personally, I think eating is probably the worst distraction out there. Not only are you looking down but you are putting your hand(s) up to your face to keep stuffing things in.
