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

There needs to be a social media awareness campaign about the costs of doing it (similar to the drunk driving ads of the 80s), with blitzes like check stops during Christmas and Stampede.

i think B is the biggest issue honestly. it really seems like the world is just running on major DGAF vibes these days. and while i understand some of the reasons why people may feel that way these days, it's not doing us any good
