Worst Driver in the History of the Universe?

img_0880-custom.JPGThis driver is playing his guitar while driving.  That’s right, a full size guitar.  If you look carefully at the picture, you can see the part of the guitar’s head and tuning pegs sticking out the driver’s window while he plays.

Talking on the cell phone?  Applying makeup?  Eating an In-N-Out burger?  Drinking a Big Gulp?  Nope, I’d say playing a guitar is pretty much the most unsafe thing a driver can do in a car while driving, alone.

    This is nothing to fret about.

    What makes this extra special is the fact that his registration isn’t even current. Apparently, he isn’t at all concerned about keeping a low profile.

    More importantly.. What was he playing? Was his fingering correct? Did he know all the lyrics?

    Next time, we want audio, Matt.

    Looks like he’s up to his neck in danger.

    Are you sure it isn’t Micki Krimmel shooting a video?

    I think he should be strung up, whether he’s a minor or not. Don’t let the scale of this be diminished, we should hammer-on the punishment, it will strike a chord with the public.

    Hey, no hijacking this post to fulfill your perverted pun fantasies. Start yer own pun blog for that.

    Jason and doran – I know, what a lame blogger I am, not even including audio. Maybe he was singing this song. Micki Krimmel too? This fits my theory of the 10,000, in which, if you think up any sick, crazy activity, no matter how drunk you are at the time, there are at least 10,000 people who do it on a regular basis, and they probably have online groups set up to discuss it.

    No puns? But I haven’t even mentioned that he’ll be playing a different tune after he gets pulled over.

    Grrrroooooooaaaaaannnnnn

    puns are the lowest form of humor.
    I use them. often.

    That said the best I’ve ever seen was a guy getting a hummer in BH in an old Triumph. Top down, the car not hers. The 1-2 and 3-4 shifts were murder and I’d be willing to be he got teeth.

    Hence the qualifier "alone." The hummer would have been safer, visually speaking, in a Hummer.

    He couldn’t pick a worse time to get strum in traffic.

    I think the worst is actually reading a book in the car, which I’ve seen people do at least twice. The guitar, there’s a possibility you could NOT look at it while playing. The book, you HAVE to look at it.

    What if our guitar-slinging motorist was reading sheet music?


  14. frazgo on May 22nd, 2008 @ 6:40 am

    just remember the cost of housing is still the worst thing in LA. Our poll said so.


  15. heatseeker on May 22nd, 2008 @ 9:18 am

    Wonder what he was singing, "Life in the fast Lane" no doubt?


  16. Jason Burns (jasonburns) on May 22nd, 2008 @ 9:39 am

    Funny you should mention that, Lucinda. I remember a near accident years ago in Indianapolis when a guy swerved into my lane because he was on his cell phone while trying to look up a number in a phone book. A phone book. Yellow pages. In his lap. While driving.


  17. frazgo on May 22nd, 2008 @ 10:07 am

    lol Jason…that was a Darwin Award winner if there ever was one.

    He can’t help it–he’s in an A-chord (sorry I couldn’t resist).
