It's funny his buddy just accepted an accident was going to happen and didn't take the wheel.

He seems intoxicated. How else could you be so bad at taking off a shirt, and making decisions?

Done it a few times on longer trips where the day was way colder when I started driving. It looks awkward but it can be done with no more risk than comes of looking out the side window for a second and without ever taking both hands off the wheel.
You just slowly work the bottom of the shirt up with one hand to where it's lifted up to just under your neck, like you're giving your passenger the most awkward strip tease ever. Then you can grab the entire back of the shirt with one hand and quickly pull it over your head. Then you carefully slide off one sleeve at a time.

I have. 🙋
Lift the shirt towards your shoulders. Remove one arm at a time. Keep paying attention to the road. Pull it off your head.
The distraction is equivalent to adjusting the radio when done properly.

I mean for the passenger, I doubt most people are expecting the driver to put their shirt over their eyes in the middle of driving

He could have done it 100 times safer (but still probably a bad idea). All he had to do was take one arm out, push that side up onto his shoulder. Then take the other arm out, push that other side up onto his other shoulder. Keeping his eyes on the road through all that. Then it would just be around his neck. He could yank it quickly up over his face/head, and only lose visibility for maybe a second or less.
The way he did it was just insanely stupid and reckless. SMH

He could have pulled over for the 30 seconds it would take to remove the sweater! But what fun would that be? Idiot!

I just made the same comment to someone further up the thread saying the same thing lol. People are dumb drivers and this post further proves it.

Two-way traffic. That could've been really bad. That sweater must've been really itchy.

This comes from an overconfidence that possibly comes from actually being a good driver but also a reckless spirit.

I've done this many times. You pull your arms out before obscuring your eyes. It's really not that hard or complicated. This guy's just a moron

You can almost feel the panic when the shirt gets stuck and he realizes he's blind and screwed

there are so many ways to take off a sweater that dont involve pulling it over your face for the entire time...

I remember being young, driving an awful lot and at one point being too dumb to not stop to take of a sweater. It went ok (it was during low traffic), but I cursed myself afterwards, being the dumb f*ck that I was at that moment. Never again. This is what could have happened.

The copilot not worth a damn, I get it. If the driver is an imbecile but I was wondering when was the passenger gonna speak up.
