Things have changed a lot. The biggest thing that changed is how common this kind of driving is.

Oh, if you carry a full bowl of soup in a moving car, I bet it does! If the soup is hot, the notifications can be even harder to ignore than a ringing phone.
- c0pium 3y agoThis misses the reason that distracted driving happens though, which is because people are bored. They know ahead of time they’re going to be bored, so they plan other things to escape their boredom. Phones give you more options but many people would just find another equivalently dangerous way to fill the time.
