How dangerous is it to drop the burning end of a cigarette in your lap, or onto your cloth upholstery? The smoker-driver I mentioned earlier had at least one obvious burn mark on the driver's seat of his truck. |

Not very. > >How dangerous is it to drop the burning end of a cigarette in your >lap, or onto your cloth upholstery? For me, that doesn't happen. I smoke these new-fangled cigarettes that don't create ashes. (Seriously). I didn't always smoke these though, so I'd have to say that it is slightly dangerous if that happens., but you have to set your priorities. It's not worth saving your seat from a burn if you total your car. Pull over and then take care of it. >The smoker-driver I mentioned >earlier had at least one obvious burn mark on the driver's seat of his >truck. Good. Then he won't worry about the seat being ruined the next time it happens. |

Basically it's an allergy issue -- if my eyes tear up enough, it'll wash out just about any lens. -- There's no such thing as a free lunch, but certain accounting practices can result in a fully-depreciated one. |

Driving isn't dangerous in the least, if you know what you're doing.
Which explains why you want such retardedly low speed limits, as you're a clueless ****. |

When I was using a cell phone, I merely hit the "talk" button and
enjoyed the safety and convienence of my headset. :-D |

You could drive home blind folded, and still driver safer than Aunt
Judy. |

I'll take a cigarette over that anyday. |
