> It's my fault for using the phone I do take the blame. I'm driving somewhere 6 hours away that I've never been with a dog in the car. Normally it's quite safe for me to do things like manage turn by turn navigation, and pick up a hands free call, or pause an audiobook, or ask the phone to reroute me to food, gas, or a rest stop. If you are able to drive solo 6 hours to a new place in total silence without stopping for food, rest, or gas, or touching the turn by turn navigations to make an update, I'll fly you out to me and pay you $1000 a day to teach me how.

You're still avoiding taking all the blame by making excuses and being super defensive. You know damn well sitting in total silence was not my suggestion. I am also able to manage those things without taking my eyes off the road for more than I would looking at my speedometer. If there's a new UI that's new and different, you should have pulled over to figure it out instead of almost crashing not once, but twice.

  For whatever reason you really have an axe to grind here. I understand you can get pedantic about my phrasing and language but when I tell you I was 100% at fault, what do you gain by picking apart my language to try to prove to me I don't feel that way? I do feel that way, thanks! > I am also able to manage those things without taking my eyes off the road for more than I would looking at my speedometer. Yea so that would be normal operating procedure for me as well! Definitely I should have pulled over when the severity of the UI change became clear to me, but it was already too late and I was slamming the brakes. I was in the far left lane in bumper to bumper traffic and it wasn't quite as simple as you think it must have been. Can you understand my frustration at needing to do that? I made the wrong choice and I didn't do that. Can you still understand my frustration with the situation?

  >You're still avoiding taking all the blame by making excuses and being super defensive Since you are so concerned about automobile safety, do you have any suggestion on how to get a taxi/Uber/Lyft/etc driver who keeps at least one hand firmly grasping the steering wheel at all times the car is in motion?
