    1. The phone is clearly mounted on the dashboard.

    2. It’s not uncommon for people to record their whole trip for social media, not just take to a picture.

    3. This caption could have been pasted over a completely unrelated screenshot of someone else’s video for all we know.

    Don’t touch your phone while driving, but also, don’t believe everything you see on social media.

      It’s not uncommon for people to record their whole trip for social media, not just take to a picture.

      That’s still a distraction. Even if they don’t intend to upload the entire recording they are paying less attention to the road in order to pay attention to their “performance”.

      On your last point… It’s still damaging because it normalises it. UK has very harsh stance on this and you’d get in shit even for point 1. There should be zero tolerance on this. They’re a dickhead driver regardless. Two dickheads don’t make it right.

        Incorrect, in the UK you can touch/use the phone if it’s mounted in a cradle. Touch it un-cradled though and wham that’s instant points even if it was out of battery and turned off
