Sinclair (5435)) Organization: The Aerospace Corp., El Segundo, CA Lines: 45 As some of you are aware, Bell Labs recently did a study of various activties engaged in while driving, rating the amount of challenge on a scale of 1 to 10. Some of their findinds are listed below: shaving 3.0 eating a sandwich 4.6 reading a map 7.5 casual conversation 4.1 fooling with radio 2.8 rolling up/down window 3.8 The California Foundation for Frustrated Freeway Drivers (CFFFD) has expanded this study to include other activties that we consider are important in driving situations. Here are our findings. The higher the number, the more deleterious the effect is on the driving situation. Dealing with angry wasp 4.5 Dealing with angry tom cat 5.2 Dealing with angry spouse 6.0 Dealing with angry cop (pursuit) 7.4 Dealing with angry drug dealer 8.5 Spilt water 4.4 Spilt hot coffee 5.6 Spilt vanilla shake 5.2 Spilt sulfuric acid 7.4 Spilt cocaine 8.2 Spilt cocaine (window open) 9.2 Kissing 3.5 Fondling (one hand) 4.9 Fondling (both hands) 6.3 Receiving oral sex (bef. org.) 6.9 Receiving oral sex (after) 1.3 Giving oral sex 8.1 Giving anal sex 7.1 Eating ice cream cone 3.2 Eating fried chicken 4.3 Eating BBQ sandwich 5.6 Eating spaghetti 7.1 Eating date (see oral sex above) If any readers out there have done research in this area, and have things to add, the CFFFD would like to hear about them.
