I can stay parked at a green light the entire cycle, and it still will be 100% the fault of the person who rear ends me.

As for what I'm doing, it's probably something like scrolling the map to see what road I'll be turning on in 5 minutes, so that I don't have to look at it (regardless of whether I'd be touching it) later. Or a dozen other similar things, none of which have anything to do with social media.

And I know you, as a reasonable adult on this forum, know this.



With all due respect, I could not imagine one thing, nor a dozen, that would involve me fiddling with my phone while on a commute of any length.

I say this having both a vehicle with wireless carplay, and another where I need to manually configure maps. And yes, I often fiddle with maps as I'm a nervous wreck, but I truly cannot imagine doing it "on the fly".

my company does not pay me enough to hyper scan my phone for teams/outlook, nor does my interest in "task/notification x" trump my desire to not have my car in the shop for weeks.

Different strokes I guess. I'm sure you're a safe driver all things considered.
