Why so close?

I have an inquiry -- a gripe if you will, to address with a certain driving set. I'm talkin' bout the ladies who drive too close to the steering wheel.

Yes, you know who you are. You are the women who get in the car and adjust the seat back and tray tables into their full upright and locked position, so close to the windshield you are close enough to fog it up with your coffee breath. What is up with this?

I am assuming you drive like this because it makes you feel more in control. You can practically wrap your entire arms around the steering wheel. You are so close you can use your steering wheel to wipe sweat from your pits. You can take a nap on it without having to move your head at all. But has it not occurred to you, windshield driver, that while you think you are acting in your safety's best interest by frenching glass while you drive, you are really putting yourself in extreme danger!

Because should you actually get in an accident, your airbag has nowhere to expand except by breaking into your face at warped speeds. If you were to get in an accident, it would probably be the airbag that would kill you. This kills me. The irony. You are an Alannis Morissette lyric waiting to be sung.
