      Unless the conflict was like “someone close to me is giving birth” tier, he could have scheduled better.

      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.

          If when you talk all your attention is on the passenger like looking at them all the time and not the road then no you should not

          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.

      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.

          A passenger is somewhat aware of the surroundings and might shut up to let the driver concentrate on traffic every now and then. A video call - especially with a group - probably can’t and won’t

          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.

              Those aren’t the same things and you should know that.

              This isn’t taking your attention off the road for *a second or two as you say. This is the type of thing that splits your attention. And humans are terrible at multitasking at the level required for this.

              Edit: *
