It Was Probably a Bowl Fruit Loops
LAist understands that Angelenos do a lot of things while driving that they shouldn't.
We've recently witnessed: reading the newspaper at rush hour on the I-10, applying mascara on the 101, watching movies and e-mailing on the 405 and a few other items that we don't want to mention.
But we saw something new while driving through the suburbs this morning. A guy behind the wheel was eating a bowl of cereal with two hands while driving about 20 to 30 miles per hour down a quiet neighborhood street. His left hand held the bowl while the right held the spoon. We wonder, however, if he steered with his knees or his elbows? Either way, we were kinda impressed.
So what else have you seen behind the wheel 'round here?
