Your inside an accident. Somebody ask you 1) was your phone on. 2) what were you doing with your phone The moment you answer two you have become liable. Your phone could be one like your radio and you could be talking but your eyes have to be on the road. Not facetime, not tv, not xxx. Even if your talking on the phone and your driving the question next would be. 3) what were you talking about. EXAMPLE: My aunt-in-law literally crashed her car head on with a tree and light a blaze. If they check the phone bill how much do we want to bet. A. She was talking with another woman that told her she is having her husbands baby. or B. She was talking with her mother ( the in-law ) who do not like her husband due to his appearance. So imagine if there was no phone. Imagine if she got the news after she came home. Imagine if talking to one of these idiots "made her unbalanced in calculations ( thinking ). ............... My mother drives still and she has become obsessive over TV programs ( Prime, Netflix, Disney+, etc ). Imagine if the phone rings and it displays a message "Emergency please mom pick up". My dad got into an accident one time ( not phone related ) but imagine how much worst it could be. This is a response to the post seen at: http://www.jlaforums.com/viewtopic.php?p=665966706#665966706
