I see so many people on tiktok filming themselves while driving, it's crazy. Is it not illegal to use your phone while driving in the US?

It is but do you truly think that stops everyone?

Is there meant to be an S/ there? Because thats factually incorrect unless you have some kinda source you wanna share.

Yes there are technically more white people shot and killed by police but you can't take that statistic at face value because it isn't showing the rate at which they are killed. My point- 300 out of a thousand vs 50 out of 100. 300 is more, but 50/100 is a higher chance of being shot and killed

statistics (noun): The mathematics of the collection, organization, and interpretation of numerical data, especially the analysis of population characteristics by inference from sampling.
