    I can’t believe the amount of people who are arguing over this.

    If you are in control of 1.5 tonnes of something travelling at 60km/h you should;

    • concentrate on what you are doing, exclusively!
    • not get into physical argument with someone else in control of 1.5 tonnes of something.

    If you are emotionally unable to leave your fucking phone alone, you shouldn’t be fucking driving!

      For sure, but also phone have been deliberately engineered on the hardware and software level to be as addicting and habit forming as possible.

      From attention grabbing chimes (not insane, you want to know when you’re messaged normally) to notification spam to superstimuli applications. We need to shift some responsibility on manufacturers for exploiting holes in human psychology.

      Anti litter campaigns get you so far, putting bins everywhere gets you further. Work safety videos get you so far, lock out tag out systems take you further
