From the [BBC](http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/shropshire/4038231.stm)

Most of us drive with two hands on the wheel. Taking a hand off the wheel to open a window is acceptable. Using the wrong hand to do is not. Answering a cell phone while driving is probably a bad idea. Having a 10-yo girl sit in the window is definitely a bad idea.

Doing all three at the same time is fucking insane. :rolleyes:

How else will the child learn how to do all that while driving unless you let her watch?

Eventually she will drive a car and have to get dressed, apply makeup, feed herself, feed children, change radio stations, insert a CD, shave her legs, have sex, and send pictures of it to her friends with her cell phone. There’s only so much they can fit into driver ed classes. 😉
