You can be that harsh when talking about controlling a piece of fast moving machinery around other people. You very easily have the ability to kill people and if you aren’t able to properly operate a car then you should be able to in public.

Sure, some people are physically incapable of not checking Instagram. That’s ok. They just aren’t suited for driving.

I'm sorry but I think your views are too idealistic.

Based on your standards nobody would be on the roads.

You've also moved the goalpost, I haven't talked about browsing instagram while driving, in that case I agree with you, those people who cannot resist doing so should not be allowed to drive.
