    You have given many reasons he might be driving without a license.

    You haven’t given any for the reason he might be doing it while on a zoom trial with a judge for doing so in the first place. Which is the real reason why he’s in jail now.

      Many states also have a no use of cell phone while driving law, which he is clearly breaking.

          It’s still a distraction. Studies have shown that even having music on is a measurable risk to the driver. But society has accepted that one. Using a phone is much worse.

      Your Honor, if I may Devil’s Advocate for that other poster;

      To be the victim of a callous system designed with apathy at best and cruelty at worst…

      and to be a profound fool who never picks up any chance to put two neurons together to a task however many chances are given…

      Is not mutually exclusive. 🤣. You might even be acquainted with a few folks miraculously barely navigating the concrete jungle already.

      It’s always a tragic story from some angle, but empathy doth need a break sometimes, that’s why we developed humor to uncomfortably bridge the gap.

      Don’t Zoom and Drive people, court or not.
