These actions make absolutely no sense to me.
There are plenty of other ways to get the desired result without risking your life or those of others.
Police have said the actions of those people put the lives of others at risk as well.
I agree. I would most certainly be distracted if I was driving and spotted someone hanging out a window in that way.
Sometimes all it takes is a momentary distraction for things to go wrong.
In the case of the woman taking the photo, I don't understand at all the need to put herself in that position.
Surely she could get a photo just as good by rolling down the window and pointing the camera out of it.
The easiest way to get the best photo would have been to simply pull over somewhere for a minute or two.
As for the French tourists, they obviously were not shy about people watching as they relieved themselves so pulling over on the side of the road to let them out would have done the trick in a much safer manner.
Police have also berated the driver over the latest incident and rightly so.
As the driver of a car it is your responsibility to keep your passengers in line and make sure they are safe.
Our road toll is already too high. There's no need for silly actions that increase the risk of injury or death.
Think before you act.
