During the public hearing, commissioner Karl Hasz was spotted driving his car
Yes… let’s reschedule a public hearing because one person had a conflict? Maybe we could just adapt to people having lives and working?
One person was in their car tele conferencing from FUCKING TRAFFIC you stripped and rounded nut.
When you are driving your attention should be on the road not on the phone while a hearing about bike lane is going on
which is kind of funny wanting to remove a bike lane that help protect cyclist while driving dangerously
So can’t talk to passengers either then? It’s hands free once it’s setup, there’s nothing inherently wrong with what’s being done actually.
Ah yes, the classic “these things share one property so they share all properties” argument.
Blinking closes your eyes. You can safely drive and blink. Thus, you can drive safely with your eyes closed.
Wow, that’s a good one, I should remember to try next time I drive
But yeah, I ride a bicycle, so what do I know about safety anyway. So touching when people remove bike lanes to improve traffic, because they care <3
Being on a video call while operating a motor vehicle is dangerous and should be illegal in any sane jurisdiction under distracted driving laws.
As long as it’s setup, how’s it different than talking to a passenger? It’s completely hands free at that point.
Considering the frame they caught him in he’s not looking at the road. Is it eyes free?
So can’t shoulder check or look at your passengers? Can’t adjust volume or other settings on your dash?Wrong thing to complain about lol. There’s hundreds of things that take your attention away from the road for a second or two that’s normally done while operating a vehicle already.
As a driving instructor myself: you’re the person I warn my learners about 👍
