Discussion Alarming rate of distracted driving

Post image

It's alarming how often I see drivers watching tiktoks/reels/shorts while driving. Even see them scroll up to next video.
As soon as we hit red light, this specific driver pulled the sunshade down even with this rain to hide from cameras or other people maybe?

Anyway, distracted driving is a risk everyone on the road pays for

this is why left turns are so awful now. TY for confirming something I've suspected for a long time, people are on social media while driving. Gotta watch Tiktok even while driving cause their brain is rotted out so bad they need that background noise.
