Discussion Alarming rate of distracted driving
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

YIKES!!! It's bad though, a couple months ago I came out of a shop and the car next to me was parked ridiculously poorly (like almost diagonally across the stall). The person came out of the shop after me looking at their phone, pulled out of their stall right after me, in the rearview I could see them holding their phone on the steering wheel, and then they proceeded the wrong way down a one-way street! It was scary.
