I just came back to the US for a visit and was absolutely gobsmacked at the wide level of texting/phone usage while driving. People weren't even making an effort to hide it or using hands-free cradles. Just full on swiping and looking down while driving on freeways and at traffic lights. It felt like a surreal dystopian nightmare.

It’s much safer to hold your phone up so that your peripherals can still see the road lines instead of looking down where you can’t see anything. Yes it’s pretty common, I see phones in driver’s hands about 25-40% in my local area.
