I followed a guy onto Mulholland drive a couple of weeks ago, around 11AM in broad daylight, he in his Z3 with the top down, talking on his cellphone, and watched, stunned as he plowed directly across the road, putting all 4 wheels in the oncoming lane, causing three cars to hastily drive into the dirt, then swerved back and continued on. he was going all of 25-30 MPH.

He was looking straight ahead, but was so involved in the conversation, he apparently became disoriented??? Damnedest thing I've seen in the 'good part of town.'

You really can become so engrossed in a conversation that you tune out even things directly in front of you.
