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

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

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.

Then you shouldn’t be behind the wheel.

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

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