I get texting and driving being a danger. But back in my day you could eat drink change radio stations etc. Why weren't laws implemented back then?

Better question, why is every moron free to legally text and drive if they glue the phone to the dash first? Those mounts are driving me up a fuckin wall, I literally saw one dead center on a steering wheel hump.

I had a Lyft driver who was watching YouTube videos using one of the windshield mounts

Shit like that is why I still prefer cabs tbh. Not saying it doesn’t happen, but I see it happen way more in the rideshare stuff.

I’d rather die than deal with the ads thats cabs play nowadays.

I report and low rate shitty drivers, no real option for that for cabs.

Ah see those screens aren’t in cabs in my city
