I do all of those things in my car while driving too. Maybe not read but I’ve listened to audiobooks. I also sit in Teams meetings, read and respond to emails and IMs on my phone as well when I’m at a stop light. Maybe some people can’t do these things while driving but plenty of us do.

It's not that those people are unable. It's that they're not idiots that risks other's lives.

You write as if you believe you're a better driver than most, but that's wrong. People doing the things you mention are bad and dangerous drivers.

And you're a hazard to everyone around you doing most of the things.

But it's fine, the poors (pedestrians, cyclists) deserve to die, anyway.

Lol... yea, let's not discuss the 100 deaths a day are caused by automobile collisions. It's not going to help your argument.

How many emails are you sending at stop lights? When I communicated I'd be lucky to queue some music at a stop light.
