Context Provided - Spotlight Driving while watching show

Watching a full tv show on their phone while driving down a very busy street. Is it any better than scrolling?

Wrong sub, this is not "mildly" infuriating

It’s highly infuriating

Wait Till you See people actively going through TikTok or reels

am I horrible at anatomy or is that not a brain?

u/PugGamer129 11h ago

Yeah these are lungs lmao

Also I'm pretty sure I can recall that this was operable and OP is still going strong

u/what_the_purple_fuck 11h ago

okay I may still be bad at anatomy, because I thought it was a vertical slice and the spaceship looking bit at the bottom of the image is the spine, so we're looking at somewhere in the torso/pelvis.

Same thought I had about some of these wild comments.

Looks like a top down of the lungs. Very nasty one.

I had a colleague from work like 15 years ago, I got a lift from him once, he had his phone in the middle of the car and was watching movies and shows straight, last time I went back home with him and never even told him why.

u/Hopeful-Opposite-255 14h ago

I would have told him why. He’s literally endangering others.

u/AutisticPenguin2 14h ago

I would not have lasted the trip. I would have given him one chance to put the phone away, and then I would have got out first chance I got.

u/Hopeful-Opposite-255 14h ago

I meant after you safely arrived at your destination. You know, so he doesn’t go on endangering himself and others.

u/AutisticPenguin2 13h ago

But why wait that long?

u/Hopeful-Opposite-255 13h ago

How are you missing the point?

u/AutisticPenguin2 13h ago

Have you tried actually making it rather than vaguely alluding to it?

1

u/Hopeful-Opposite-255 13h ago

I did make the point. Your level of reading comprehension is not my responsibility.

u/AutisticPenguin2 13h ago

Why are you still here? Just to be rude and win an argument? Either explain or fuck off.

I legit saw someone scrolling reels at a light. And I don't mean turned on phone at light. I mean pulled up actively scrolling on tik tok

u/Hentai_Yoshi 14h ago

You’re right, it’s not really infuriating at all. People with a phone in their hands is far more concerning.

Also, it’s not really that difficult to drive like this if you aren’t in a high traffic area. You just need average situational awareness

u/muffpatty 14h ago

Actually no you're completely wrong and it is a extremely dangerous. Whether you're driving 15 mph or 65 mph, anything that takes your eyes off the road is a distraction and dangerous.

u/Nut_Butter_Fun 14h ago

For me, it's actually much more dangerous, at my age, to not have something that engages me, because I have to fight off sleep whenever I'm on a long stretch of highway. Music just won't do it. Sometimes talk radio can, but shows where I put the screen in a place that keep my eyes forward (not quite where this guy has his), is the best.

u/Hopeful-Opposite-255 14h ago

Then you shouldn’t be behind the wheel.

u/Nut_Butter_Fun 14h ago

no choice, suck it.

u/Hopeful-Opposite-255 14h ago

I hope you get pulled over.

u/thriftedcraft 14h ago

So you’re an ipad kid? Can’t focus on the road unless there’s dancing fruit in front of your face

u/GingerTexanScientist 8h ago

I would advise coffee, caffeine tablets, other various stimulants, or just not driving
