While driving around the city in the ambulance I see more stupid driving then you can ever dream of. I see people doing everything that is mentioned here, eating, talking on phone, reading etc...
Some of my favorites so far have been people switching driver and passenger while driving, I have seen this a few times and can only chock it up to the people in that vehicle think that we are the cops in the ambulance and have some reason not to be cought driving. We had a lady jump out of her car at a green light run over to a news paper machine and buy a paper while she just left her car running in the middle of the road at a green light, in the city at night it is very common for people to be driving down a street see someone they know and want to talk to, so they just stop and park blocking a lane with no notice to the drivers behind them.

Now when we are driving to a 911 call with our lights and sirens blaring people drive more dangerously then if they were eating, drinking, reading and sleeping at the same time. People never remember to just pull to the right, we get people who just stop in the middle of the lane and force me to swerve quickly to miss the 2 ton new road block, people try to out drive us so we wont pass them and possible delay them from what ever place is sooo important they have to get to. Some people just don't pay any attention at all and go about their business like it dose not matter that someone could be dying somewhere.
Here is a great cartoon that one of my co-workers sent me

Also to touch on the subject of animals in vehicles, think about the fact that you are wearing a seat belt and that your pet isn't, unless you are an awesome and loving owner who puts the animal in some kind of veichle restraint, and that pets can and will be hurt in an accident just like an unrestrained person. Also that when an animal is hurt and still able to get up they will most likely run away if they can so you might also lose a pet that way.
