If you look at your phone while you’re driving…what are you thinking?

Another honest answer:

I would tell myself I was only checking things at stop lights, but inevitably checking something at a stop light would lead to having to do a follow up while driving. So I definitely was on my phone while driving too.

We are now car-less in a bigger city, but I have terrible guilt that I used to do this when I lived in DC and am glad I never hurt anyone. I had an insane, high-stakes job and for some reason it felt mentally justifiable to be checking at stop lights or intersections.

Do you mean looking at the phone while the car is moving, or just while the person is in the car?

A young woman who was on her phone while driving killed my FIL. She'll have to live with that the rest of her life. I hope she feels guilty every single day. It's not worth it. EVER.

Pedestrians walk looking at their phones too. It's WILD.

The other day I was on an interstate doing 70 and the woman next to me was totally reading he phone while driving.

Personally, I think all cars should have cell phone jamming devices, not only for their own drivers but also to jam the signals for cars within like a 100 yard radius. They only work when driving and would shut off automatically when there is a collision -- or otherwise be set up to allow 911 calls in an emergency.

Anything other than parked
