    Can’t believe people still have the audacity to text while driving. I prefer reading a nice relaxing book.

      I’ve seen a bus driver do this. No seriously. And it was the safer option. It was on one of those long desert stretches of road in Australia. No turns, interceptions, obstacles, or urbanization, and very little traffic for hundreds of miles.

      It was better for the driver to read a book than to zone off bored near death. You could see incoming traffic miles away anyway so a few glances from time to time were enough.

      It was funny when I spotted him and asked him “Are you seriously reading a book while driving?”.
