Almost-Driving
There are some people who insist on driving, and then there are other people that insist on "almost-driving." They have fun, but they are also more accident-prone than the rest of us. And they are in the same insurance pools as the rest of us. Some states have tried to outlaw this stupid behavior. Still, the number of dumb things people insist upon doing while driving at sixty miles per hour continues to climb.
The following list of categories is just a small list of possible distractions that drivers entertain themselves with that make them Public Enemy #2.

Examples
"Hey Frank, I'm driving behind you and I'm just calling to let you know you left your trunk open."
Darn: this things must have an app that will help me drive better. Goto Darn.
Ah, this app will enable me to do everything I was planning to do this evening before I even get home.
This joke about text messaging is all over the internet, so people have probably learned from it by now.
"Then, Captain, you don't have the GPS app for iceberg finder."
Whatever happened to phone booths? I thought they were a pretty good idea. That meant you had to pull off the road to make a call.
