I ended up in a river because of switching a Spotify playlist. It was a miracle that saved my friends and me. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, PUT YOUR PHONE AWAY WHILE DRIVING. NOTHING, NOTHING CAN'T BE MORE IMPORTANT IN THOSE MINUTES YOU DRIVE THAT YOUR OR OTHER PEOPLES' LIFE. Want to check your phone? stop, check it and continue.

"I ended up in a river because of switching a Spotify playlist."
That is a profound level of incompetence along a number of dimensions. Obligatory: ThisIsWhyWeCan'tHaveNiceThings.

Tons of people have gotten in accidents doing things like adjusting the radio or air conditioning. Your car travels 88 feet blind every second you are distracted.

Sometimes I drive at speeds other than 60 mph.

Highly suggest using Siri on a mounted device where you can say "Hey Siri" without taking your eyes from the road and speak your command. I am not sure if it is compatible with Spotify playlists but can give you a lot of power behind the wheel without compromising on safety.
