Unsafe Physical Gyrations? NEVER!

So fours months into my commute, I got a ticket. I'm actually really surprised it wasn't for speeding, and even more surprised that it was for failing to come to a complete stop at a stop sign. What a lame reason to get a ticket, huh. I mean, who doesn't do the California stop?

Well not me - not anymore. Because it resulted in a $190 ticket - and having to go to traffic school. Learn from my mistakes, folks!

So here I am, on winter break from school, and well, going to school. But it's online - which is way convenient - and I'm actually learning quite a lot. Like this GEM:

Radio - Finding a station and looking down at the radio takes the driver's eyes away from the road. Leaning over to change the station often causes the vehicle to veer off course and increases the potential for getting into a collision. The use of preset buttons to locate stations is important, since locating a station should never adversely affect your driving. Additionally, some people combine driving with dancing. Music is often stimulating, yet physical gyrations while driving can interfere and prove to be unsafe.

I don't know whats worse, that fact that people are idiotic enough for this to be included in the Driver Distractions section of the course, or that fact that they think dancing in the car is a bad idea. Now, besides the not-coming-to-a-complete-stop thing, I am a law abiding citizen. But this I cannot conform to. I will let the man take away my drunken 100 MPH joy-rides, but I refuse, REFUSE to stop physical gyrations. I am appalled.
