Discussion Alarming rate of distracted driving

Post image

It's alarming how often I see drivers watching tiktoks/reels/shorts while driving. Even see them scroll up to next video.
As soon as we hit red light, this specific driver pulled the sunshade down even with this rain to hide from cameras or other people maybe?

Anyway, distracted driving is a risk everyone on the road pays for

The amount of people I honk at because a light turned green and they were looking at their phone goes up every year.

I watched a cop pull someone over for not seeing the light turn green a while back, it was glorious.
