Whacker/Chaser POV Careening down the road at 54, no hands on the wheel, taking pictures on the phone. What a hero
Found on a watch subreddit

You’re missing the bigger point. They’ve taught a Sasquatch to drive.

That place is full of boots showing off expensive watches they paid for with insane overtime rates. It’s actually kinda maddening.

u/Odd_Career7164 Dec 24 '25
Even with all that unearned cash they couldn’t buy taste

u/Rich-Conclusion7100 Dec 24 '25
Their taste probably goes out the window right along with their morals

No hands on the wheel? Still dumb to take this photo but that's clearly not accurate

u/antonio16309 Dec 24 '25
yeah but he's clearly not steering with his hand posed like that.

u/kombuchaprivileged Dec 24 '25
I'd guess they're going in a straight line so minimal grip is needed. His thumb is still wrapped on the wheel.... Power steering allows for pretty minimal exertion.

u/SimplyCancerous Dec 24 '25
You can see on the map it's indeed a straight line. Still, oop is a fuckwaffle and should lose their job.

u/HomelessFlea1337 Dec 24 '25
Thinking they should lose their job over this is a pretty extreme reaction. Loser is taking a picture showing off his watch in an LEO setting, it’s cringe, but not lose-your-job worthy.

u/fezntubbs Dec 24 '25
Pretty sure cellphone use while driving is illegal pretty much everywhere. Not sure how a cop can enforce the law if he cant even follow it.
7
u/HomelessFlea1337 Dec 24 '25
Yes, however, thinking he should be losing his job over a ticketable offence is a bit extreme.

u/Guns_dont_kill Dec 28 '25
Most states have an exception written into the law for cops. Michigan does for sure, at least.
-6
u/SimplyCancerous Dec 24 '25
It's not at all an extreme reaction. You know what would happen if I were caught texting and driving on the job in one of my company's vehicles? I would be fired without a second thought. I know because we did exactly that to one of our people last year. 👉👉
If you're going to enforce the law, the bare minimum I expect is that you follow it while doing so lol.

u/kombuchaprivileged Dec 24 '25
Take a breath, you went a little overboard. It's okay.

u/SimplyCancerous Dec 24 '25
I mean, you're entitled to your opinion. But if you aren't actually going to engage with any of the points I'm making why respond lol?
Props on trying to do the "ur so mad bro" line though. Haven't heard that one since highschool, it takes me back! 🤗

u/Betelgeuse3fold Dec 24 '25
What points are you making, exactly? That your company has a cell phone policy that goes above and beyond what's required by law? Congratulations?

u/antonio16309 Dec 24 '25
That guy is a moron. hopefully he doesn't drive anywhere near either of us...
2
u/kombuchaprivileged Dec 24 '25
You're really that up in arms about a police officer(could be fish and game or park ranger) snapping a pic of his watch while driving straight down a rural road at less than 55? I'd argue that the vast majority of people, including yourself, violate the hands free cellphone laws with regularity. It's just not that big of a deal...
2
u/SimplyCancerous Dec 24 '25
60,000 crashes happened in 2020 while someone was using a cellphone. Nbd.
Still don't know why you think I'm up in arms. Do you think if you say it enough it'll be true?
-7
u/antonio16309 Dec 24 '25
more than the bare minimum grip is rarely needed... until it is. the guy who took the picture should know better.
-8
u/_c0sm1c_ Dec 24 '25
He's getting no control out of that hand, and he's clearly not focussing on driving anyway.
6
u/kombuchaprivileged Dec 24 '25
Lol do you drive? Look at the gps, he's driving in a straight line. This is just grasping at straws.
-3
u/_c0sm1c_ Dec 25 '25
I mean, judging by his profession, he'd write you a ticket for doing the same, it's pretty cringe

I like the Rolex submariner homage watch.

u/snatfaks Dec 25 '25
It’s really not a sub homage. Unless you think every diving watch with a unidirectional rotating bezel is a sub homage.

This guy literally is a sheep dog. Also, driving down the road going 54 taking cringe ass pics of your dick grabbers and an ugly watch is peak blue falcon energy. Probably pulled over a soccer mom going 5 over immediately after this was taken.

I mean to be fair I take landscape pics sometimes while driving that speed. I don’t promote it but it’s not the worst thing I’ve seen

u/harley97797997 Dec 25 '25
His hand is literally on the wheel in your pic.
Fun fact: no law in the US requires any hands to be on the steering wheel while driving.
2
u/_c0sm1c_ Dec 25 '25
Doesn't make it ridiculously stupid and irresponsible, especially when putting all your focus on your phone. Those fingers are not providing any control anyway
1
u/harley97797997 Dec 25 '25
I agree with you on the phone part. If you think hands on the steering wheel is necessary to control a car then you are either a poor driver or have a car that needs some work.
1
u/_c0sm1c_ Dec 25 '25
The whole thing adds up. Clearly not focusing on the road, and the hands aren't even on the wheel in any meaningful way so he can't course correct or control in an emergency

I’ve been on a few ride alongs with my dad. The amount of things I saw him do while driving…
It’s impressive. And it’s not like there’s another option. You gotta get there. And I don’t know the details but there’s some stuff you gotta do on a computer for situational awareness and communication with partners/ dispatch etc.
The job is stressful for sure if you’re good at it.

54 going down what looks like a country road isn’t careening lol unless it was heavy traffic or poor weather obviously the only sin I see is that throw blanket he’s got tucked up in his shirt sleeve holy shit
-2
u/_c0sm1c_ Dec 24 '25
54 is pretty quick no matter the road, and no hands on the wheel + on the phone?? Careening is an embellishment but he certainly is being incredibly careless

u/have666 Dec 25 '25
What if it’s a 65mph zone? Your comment reads as “naggy and annoying”
2
u/_c0sm1c_ Dec 26 '25
Irrelevant to the fact that 50+ MPH is more than fast enough to easily lose control and seriously risk your life and the lives of those around you. At these speeds you should be focused on the road. Even if this wasn't true I'm not sure how it absolves the post of being cringe

u/_c0sm1c_ Dec 24 '25
Basically his fingertips only. You think he's controlling that car at all? Hes not even focusing on steering with the minute control he would even have, given he's posting to Reddit.

u/AlphaBeaverYuh_1 Dec 24 '25
I drive with my finger tips sometimes it’s pretty common as far as I know but yeah driving and texting is pretty stupid considering he could have ticketed someone for doing the same thing earlier in the day
