Why do people drive with their head under the rear view mirror?
Yes I am still angry [:@]
In the US, some "cool" people drive with their head so far to the right it's almost in the passenger seat, what gives!

RE: Why do people drive with their head under the rear view mirror?
Oh, it's because that's the "cool" way to drive. Not knowing what's behind you is just stupid. Just like the one's that recline the seat as far back as possible and then have to hold themselves up at arms' length to drive. Can't see a damn thing, but it's "cool". You are not alone, it pisses me off too.

Haha wow, never noticed these things. However most women annoy me, they sit far to close to the wheel, so much that their shoulders are almost touching their hands lol. Would be great in a crash... break the fingers, wrist, shoulder and neck 
idiots...

RE: Why do people drive with their head under the rear view mirror?
Some of us are tall enough to remain far from the wheel 
Maybe those who are leaning to the right just wish to be close to their passenger? Hehe... never mind.
I see strange driving positions almost every day. The worst is when I see someone actually leaning to the left, slouched down and with their head between the seat back and the b-pillar. Not only does that look uncomfortable, but there is nearly no visibility to the right [&:]

Yep I see that one too, doesn't make me as angry, but is just plain stupid.

oh snap. where im from we call that the "gangster lean". the crips and bloods are credited for starting that, one group leans to the inside, the other to the outside. i forget who leans to what side. originally it was done to better concealweapons. the vatos and cholos do it to. hot rodders always have there arm out the window. and the modern tuners who tune for performance drive sitting likethey're in a race car. the ones who customize with rims and stereos lay the seat way back.
i don't understand any of it.

Just to be clear...That last video wasn't Dubai. I believe it was Saudi Arabia. No comment.

idk why people drive that way. the only time i ever lean towards the center is when im messing with the CB radio. its incredibly uncomfortable and it makes me want to get a CB radio with an automatic scan feature.

The steering wheel was invented so the driver has something to hold on to when playing with the stereo or looking for something on the floor on the passenger side.
Everybody knows that....

He's having fun with his car, I don't see the problem. Better than all the 60 year old Corvette drivers that drive 25 mph in a 50 zone.
