1. It's never occurred to me.
That's one of those "I never thought of that" things. But I'm curious if anyone HAS done this. :-)

I always sneeze more than once, usually 6 to 9 times. It makes driving a real challenge when you're sneezing.

I always fear that I'll bash into someone if I'm sneezing when driving. Think it'd fly as a defense?

12. You would still be responsible for any damage you cause.
...that's the way I feel about it. Personally, I wouldn't try it as a defense. I've had that sneezing problem all of my life and when you're on 2 wheels at 55 miles per hour it's more excitement than I care for.

15. I used to never sneeze while I was driving (in high school)
I think I was too nervous or something. Now I do it all the time. Well, not all the time. You know what I mean. :D

Not without crazy-gluing your eyelids to your brow ridge, anyway. Believe it or not, people have studied this. Redstone
