Pictures of the High and Mighty
EricGo,
This is one of those posts you need to sit your coffee down.
I've managed to get a few pictures of guys that drive like....they are really special. Here they are.

Re: Pictures of the High and Mighty
My favorite pose among those in pimped-out little ricers is the "lean back". The objective here is to recline your seat until it's pretty much in the rear seat. One can only really reach the bottom aspect of the steering wheel in such a position, so one drapes one's hand on the bottom of the wheel - because the top can't be reached.
Chuck, I swear you've inspired me to take my camera on the road with me from now on.

Let me rephrase your question:
"Reclined in a Dodge Ram at 75mph with one wrist leaning on the wheel is safer than an attentive driver with one hand firmly on the wheel, taking pictures with a camera ready to go"
Yes, I framed the question, just like you did with yours. 
I've been at this for around two months, with a camera in the passenger seat. Of course driving takes precedence over a good shot. Other difficulties involve getting lined up, many pictures involve vehicles moving too fast or with heavily tinted vehicles. If I was chaffeured, I might have at least ten times the pictures - i.e. I see this several times daily.

Civic Duty, you were refering to the "ganstra lean", but I see a lot more white guys doing the stiff-armed version of this.

Laurie, sorry to disappoint, but I bet you don't look like Aunt Cleaver in horn-rimmed specs (i.e. Smiling Bob's wife in the Enzyte commercials).

I might change my avitar to the last guy in "Pictures of the High and Mighty" with the caption: "I feel like GOD in my Dodge Ram"
Someone might get offended seeing that at GreenHybrid - somehow that is worse that seeing guys strutting around the road in their monster trucks.

Nice try on attempting to make the "Candid Camera" venture sound hazardous.
Please note that I am certainly not claiming to be the world's safest driver.
