        I mean, she was definitely using her phone while driving at 70mph. Does it really matter whether or not she was taking a pic or sending a text? It’s still incredibly dangerous.

            I feel like a lot of people have never done a long road trip where you’re driving hundreds of miles through the night. Taking your phone out and snapping a pic isn’t a huge deal IMO. I certainly don’t pull over to change my radio and taking a picture is arguably easier than that.

                To be fair, I just press the power button twice and it automatically opens the camera app. I wouldn’t even have to look to take this picture. That said, I don’t use my phone while driving because that shit is dangerous no matter what.

                On my phone I double tap the power button to launch the camera, then use the volume buttons to snap a pic. Doesn’t require me to look away from the road. Framing isn’t always right, but it’s 100% doable without taking your eyes off the road

          do you really think you have to pay extremely vigilant attention every single second of the drive? do you think anyone does this besides the dorks that always comment this on these posts?

        To be fair, I think texting while stationary at a red light is a tad different than trying to take a photo at a whopping 70mph (check the speedometer).
