On Driving

 Dear genius drivers who think you can drive and text perfectly...


Here is what you actually do:
A. Hold up traffic on two lane roads because you are not looking in the rear view mirror. You are moving at 20 in a lane that generally also moves at 40. The pain is real.

B. Stop people from parking because you are looking at your phone instead of looking for a parking spot. The car behind you? They cannot overtake, but they are not on a drive through outing. They actually would like to park and get out of that car. (Note: They cannot overtake you).

C. Delay signals because you were texting and the light turned green. While you wrote that "Bye" and pressed the pedal... oops, the light was red again!

This is unsafe driving. And it is being done by people who ARE on Linkedin.

Time was, if a car ahead of us suddenly slowed down, we would get worried. Then it became "He is checking google maps or talking on the phone". Now, they are just texting and trying to look at the windscreen. The rear-view mirror does not stand a chance.
