This is a tremendous claim without evidence. I can’t believe that you think putting a screen with moving and unpredictable images in your sight line isn’t distracting.
You’re a dangerous driver even if you’ve convinced yourself otherwise.
- withinboredom 4y agoLike I said, I have seen way worse, like people reading a book, while on cruise control. That shit is dangerous, hell, cruise control is dangerous all on its own. I wouldn’t know if the images were predicable or not, I wasn’t watching the movie. I literally have typed that many times now, though I’m fairly certain you haven’t read it. Whatever distractions, flashing lights or whatever from the screen… have you ever driven with passengers before? Passengers are far less predictable than 99% of all movies I have ever experienced.
- jackvalentine 4y agoI’m saying you’re watching a movie because you literally yourself told us, and I quote “I would toss an iPad on the dash with it plugged into my aux port and watch a movie. 99% of the time, _I’d be looking through the reflected movie on the windshield_” People do worse things, so your terrible choice is acceptable? Passengers are sometimes disruptive so it’s okay for you to distract yourself? You’re deluding yourself.
