I get what happened. I don’t agree with the ticket. I don’t like spy cameras everywhere. These are not what i originally posted about. I asked what reason could someone have to have a phone out on their lap while driving their car. Did i go on a weird tirade? I didn’t think i did.

The fuck is wrong with you? You think I’m simping for billionaires because i don’t think you should be able to drive while using your phone? And back to the original question, what good reason could she have to have her phone out? I can’t think of one.

What assumption are you making then? Why was her phone out of she wasn’t using it? Your lap is not a storage location that makes any sense when driving. You don’t have a right to drive a car, there are a lot of rules that must be followed. Do you want someone to run you over because they aren’t paying attention?

Why would it be in her lap while driving if she wasn’t using it shortly before they picture was taken?
I don’t think yours is a very good reason. If you are holding it in your lap to listen to podcasts that’s not a good spot. It can very easily fall on the floor or next to the seat, which will absolutely distract you enough to cause an accident. Get a dash mount, they’re like $5.
I’m not supporting the cameras and don’t think they should be writing tickets. I’m just talking about how holding your phone on your lap makes no sense to do. I think there is like a 99% chance she was looking at her phone 5 seconds before this picture was taken.
