I don't know how common it is, but people do drive like this. From a 2012 news article [1] about Rob Ford, the mayor of Toronto at the time: Reporter: "Sir, there's a picture that went out on Twitter this morning of you reading while still driving on the Gardiner [Expressway]." Ford: "Yeah, probably. I'm busy." Reporter: "So you read while driving?" Ford: "Yeah, probably, yeah. I'm try[ing] to catch up on my work and you know I keep my eyes on the road, but I'm a busy man." Later in the article: In October, Ford was accused of illegally dialing numbers on his cellphone and talking on it as he steered his gold minivan westbound along Dundas Street West near Spadina Avenue.
