But as usual, the gormless bints driving in high heels whilst applying makeup continue to think men cause all the accidents. And dont get me started on the amount of those little yappy dogs sitting on passenger seats that I see

Wrongly? It's a fair point in my experience.
What's your experience? My father smoked in the car and was bloody useless half the time. See it plenty on the roads too. Granted some will function perfectly well and be able to balance the challenges but many can't.
I think that makes it a fair point.

I respectfully disagree. You'll also observe many driving badly who aren't smoking, there are no statistics to back up the belief that smoking is any more likely to cause accidents above any other activity people may do in their car. There is the driving without due care & attention laws to cover those who can't use both hands simultaneously while driving, whatever they maybe trying to do.

All of the above, to which I'd add: a spare gallon of petrol in a can in the passenger compartment eg hatchbacks - carried 'just in case'. 140MJ waiting for an excuse to really spoil your day.
I know someone who did just that... and then one day he lit a cigarette...Cost him several fingers, a lot of skin, and a long stay in hospital.

At no point have I denied other distractions are equally dangerous.
