        especially in places like america where driving is largely obligatory to have a life, most people are absolute menaces who should not be behind a steering wheel under any circumstances.

        humans are not made to pilot 3+ ton vehicles at 40+ km/h, it shouldn’t be normal to drive just like it shouldn’t be normal to fly a plane.

    • Nine people in the United States are killed every day in crashes that are reported to involve a distracted driver.

    • In the United States, over 3,100 people were killed and about 424,000 were injured in crashes involving a distracted driver in 2019.

    • About 1 in 5 of the people who died in crashes involving a distracted driver in 2019 were not in vehicles―they were walking, riding their bikes, or otherwise outside a vehicle.

    Yes, it does happen all the time. And the consequences are not always just a ticket.

      Some places will fine you even if you can demonstrably still drive perfectly well even to do complicated maneuvers, because if the law says you have to be driving in a good position to keep in perfect control of your vehicle at all times it means cops can fine you for anything.

      What is the charge? Eating a meal? A succulent chinese meal?

      When it makes you swerve into another lane?

      It’s a skill issue.

    I got pulled over in the 90’s for eating a bag of chips. I never left my lane, but every time I reached over into the passengers seat I would swerve a little.

    It was late afternoon. I saw the cop behind me. I was doing the speed limit, but he was kind of close. I just figured he’d go around at some point. no lights, no siren. Finally, BULLHORN: PULL OVER.

    K, so I pull over. Driver gets out and stays by the door hand on weapon, Passenger walks up to my drivers door, license and reg, yada yada. Have you been drinking? no. Why didn’t you pull over? I just did. Why didn’t you pull over back after the stoplight when we turned the lights on? What lights?

    He looked back. No forward lights on.

    Ohhh shit… umm he’s a trainee… Look, we pulled you over because you were swerving a bit

    Ahh, sorry, I was starving points at chip bag

    oh, ok, just be careful.

    I question why this person still has a valid license if they care so little about everyone else that they couldn’t stay in their own lane.

        Passing a drumstick to your fellow commuter in the next lane out the window at highway speeds should be part of the drivers Ed curriculum.

        Okay but even if we forgive that, it looks like they’re taking a picture of the ticket while driving.

    This is literally me, I’ll eat tacos while driving.

    Hell last week I ate a full pizza while driving on the highway and at some point I mentally stopped when I realized I had eaten it all and said “this might be problematic”

    I had a co-worker get a warning once for eating leftover pizza. I’ve seen my mom eat the messiest sandwich and get off with a warning. It really depends on how many kids you have to drop off. No one fucks with a hungry momma bear.
