During the holidays my husband and I observed a Mercedes sedan swerving a bit in front of us. I was a passenger so I had the better view. First the car would slow down to 40, then speed up to 60.. Then brake, and slow down again. Mercedes would crawl to right side of lane line, then speed up, slow down and swerve to left side of lane. I might add this is on the 101 in California, near Silicon Valley area! If you live around there, you know of which horror I speak.

We were behind the car, and could not pass for a while because of cars on both sides. I was thinking it was someone high, or drinking. Then I really got biased and was thinking it was a dementia patient, or a little kid with parents car. I was starting to get a bit scared. FINALLY we could pass to the left. I was wanting to know who this was, and trying to find pen and paper to write license down.. I was that concerned. As we passed this was what i saw, a woman about 45 yrs of age, signing what looked like contracts on her steering wheel!!!! I was so astounded I could not find pencil until we passed her. Yes, she had a pile of papers on her steering wheel. A pen in one hand. She signed a page and threw it on empty passenger seat, and went on to sign another page. In the time it took us to pass her, and for me to look behind and keep staring...I never saw her head look up to the road, not once! I am still fuming. I would have turned her in hands down. She nearly caused 2 accidents. What an idiot. Really.
next time I will have cell phone ready for video. If I had license number, or video...I would have gone to police.

A bit off topic, but your post reminded me of the ultimate distracted driver I witnessed when driving in California. The driver was also driving a Mercedes. She had, what to me looked like two stuffed lion cubs, in her back seat sitting on top of the seat inside the back window. THEY WEREN'T STUFFED, THEY WEAR ALIVE. They started playing, paw swatting each other. Then I watched as one jumped over the back part of the front seat beside the driver, and the second lion followed. The lions continued playing with each other inside the car as the driver just kept on going.
