The sad thing is that she probably considers herself to be a good or excellent driver. The sad thing is that given that children do imitate their parents what is she teaching her child(ren)?
It'd almost be nice if cell phones could be programed so as to turn a car off if operated by it's driver. The only real downside would be all of the "unexpected" rear-end collisions that would result if such were possible. As we know the really scary thing is that drunk drivers are safer than distracted drivers. How ironic is that?
