I read an article in the paper a couple of years ago about a man who bought a Winnebago, was driving and decided he wanted a cup of coffe, put it on cruise control, got up, went to the back and made coffee, as he was running into a ditch - sued and the makers of the vehicle had to rewrite all manuals to include "driver must remain seated at all times while vehicle is operational" - what a true idiot he must have been - he got a brand new winnebago plus a lot of money when he sued because they settled and agreed to rewrite the manual.
