I have one counter argument. I'd rather see people on their phones when stopped than while actually in motion.
Annoying either way but I'd rather wait 3 extra seconds than watch them run someone over.
Counter counter argument, using you phone while driving is illegal for a reason. There's no reason outside of extreme emergencies that anyone needs to use their phone while operating a vehicle.
Counter counter counter argument, people are gonna do it regardless 🤷♂️
I'm not disagreeing with you btw. Just acknowledging that. Especially the way cars are basically made with phones in mind anymore.
It's still illegal if you're in traffic even if stopped for a reason.
If you want to use your phone, pull over. I'll give you a pass at a red light to punch in an address or load an audiobook since neither takes as long as a light change. It's still not ideal, but I get it.
They ain’t only using it when stopped.
