not to be toxic but it’s genuinely a reddit moment when the article clearly states the other driver was distracted and literally caused a head-on collision, but some loser focuses on the women talking while driving when we all know hands-free is a viable option, so thank you for calling him out.

i don’t think i’ve seen anyone have their phone up to their ear while driving. it’s either hands-free or headphones.

So you don’t talk to passengers or listen to the radio/music?

The amount of people refusing to listen to logic is crazy. This doesn’t even need a scientific explanation, it just makes complete sense that it’s more difficult to do two tasks at the same time than one. How sad.

You can have your hands free and still be distracted. You’re using your brain power to operate a vehicle while watching the road while talking to someone. You’re basically doing mental juggling.

You CAN be distracted, but that doesn’t MAKE you distracted. With your logic, the same would apply to talking to people who are in the car with you. Do you sit in compete silence every time you drive?

No? I talk to people plenty. I am a distracted driver. I don’t know why you decided to try strawmanning this, but yeah. Talking while driving is a distraction. Doing anything while driving is a distraction. You can still talk while you drive, but to try convincing people that talking while driving is not a distraction paints you as a fool.
