A reckless Devon motorcyclist was arrested when he tried to take off his jacket - while moving along a road.
Devon and Cornwall police also arrested a man driving his car with a broken arm and another who had a carpet sticking out of his side window.
The alarming incidents were among the worst examples of dangerous driving recorded by Devon and Cornwall police last year.
A spokesman said: "Driving a vehicle is a very responsible act.
"Driving in the manner in which some of these people were caught can be dangerous, not only to themselves but also other road users, and wherever possible police will take action."
Iain Temperton of campaigners Road Safety GB said: "It is the responsibility of every road user to ensure their own and other people's safety.
"Being in control of a vehicle is one of the most fundamental things we need to think about.
"Driving a car or a motorbike, whilst we do it daily, is not an easy task and the margins for error remain really small.
"We full support constabularies in their efforts to apprehend and prosecute against these sorts of convictions."
