I ran across this rigorous research on DC drivers' attention occupation. The research was conducted using the tried and true Schwinn-Luoma behavioral observation sampling technique. The data were entered using Datadiva 2.4 and interpreted using Stata Super-extra-pro PhD-only version 14.5. The results, while not surprising, show a continuation of the steady decline in road attention.
The results were met by the expected yawn from the District's bicycle commuters.
Too funny. You forgot "grooming" which includes brushing teeth or putting on make-up. I've also seen people reading WaPo on their steering wheel.
