Can you competently pick your nose while driving?

I'm surprised that this elemental skill isn't included in driving tests. Can you do it?

The poll is anonymous, so no worries about your husband/wife/girlfriend/boyfriend/family member/boss/co-worker/arch-enemy/local news outlet finding out.

Have you ever picked one of those boggers that goes all the way from the back side of your brain that makes your right eye twitch while your pulling it out?

Back in the fifties Smokey Yunick had a driver that was so skilled Smokey said he could beat all the ordinary drivers while picking boogers and driving.

No but I had a bloody nose once (not from picking while driving ) and when it finally stopped, I pulled a 6 or 8" strand of...

Never mind, just too gross.

But what a sensation!

But I digress.

While I am indeed a winner, I generally choose not to unless it's an annoying flapper snot that can't be remedied by the standard snot rocket procedure.

Seen someone in the next car pick their nose, pull the booger out, examine it and eat it. I skipped lunch that day.
