Anybody know if they’ve ever heard any driver confess to that?

I did that once, Chief. I was in Bremerton, WA driving down the road and looked off at the Cascade Mountain range one evening. The guy in front of me stopped. I missed my mark all right. Ruined the front end of a perfectly good AMC Spirit and the back end of an old Dodge Swinger. He took it well. Earl Gallagher was the name of the shoe in the other car. I'll never forget that. Cut me a lot of slack and never cared to call the cops to report it.
Seriously, though, this is a good topic. I agree that if a driver can manage the car, the track, and still manage looking at the TV, all the power to him or her.
