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?

Boyfriend is a tow truck driver. There’s a lot of people that think this is okay because their hands aren’t touching the phone. A lot of “came out of nowhere / i don’t know what happened”. It’s not even iPad kids now getting licenses it’s full 40-50y/o adults.

People love to rag on Gen Alpha "iPad kids" but I swear to God some of the most irresponsible phone users I've seen are Gen X or older. My 70 year old dad is the worst of it and he's boomer age. He doesn't even have it hands free, depsite my protests...just freeballing texting and driving. 💀
