    Watching videos while driving


    This guy was watching Instagram reels the whole light cycle, given the location of the phone I can only assume he was watching them also as he was driving.

    Genuinely cannot fathom what goes through someone’s head to be watching videos on their phone while driving, particularly on a busy road like this (Rosanna Road).

    Smh.

      Upload the video to CrimeStoppers. They will get the points and fine they deserve.

      See this all the time phones in holders with video calls, socials, movies etc. not even trying to hide it either. People are nuts

      Fucking reclaim your attention. Do anything to not be addicted to mindless activities with no end. Dont let life pass you by while you’ve got your head down and face glued to bullshit content and feeds engineered to rob you of your free will, especially not to the extent that you can’t take a break to drive a car.

      Have experienced this all over Melbourne and what shocks me the most is it stands out that the drivers aren’t concentrating. Then when you toot them they stick their finger up. It’s endemic here. I’m more important than you, type attitude.

      I,ve seen people with laptops on the dash , I-Pads on the the steering wheel , eating food and their knees holding the wheel , women with the front visor flipped down so they can use the mirror for makeup , people weaving over the road while their either putting a jumper on or taking one off

      Following an Uber the other morning doing 20km under speed limit. He’s watching a movie. Overtook him and he throws his hands up like I’m the douche.

      I see this at least once or twice a week on my motorbike because I can see into all the cars I split past. I’ve followed someone watching tiktoks constantly from one end of settlement Rd to the other end, he was still scrolling when I turned the other way.

      Oh I’ve seen someone driving through the Domain Tunnel with their phone mounted and scrolling TikTok in their big stupid RAM pick up

      This is crazy, we’re looking through our phone screen of you using your phone to record, looking through your recording, recording a stranger scrolling on his phone in traffic looking on his phone screen.

      Goodnight everyone im going to bed LOL 😆

      This is scaringly becoming more common, people just scrolling through TikTok whilst driving. Absolutely no shame

      ngl I’ve done this before, but pretty quickly realised I’m being a regard.
      SkinnyFiend is right. Reclaim your mind.

      I have been in work Teams calls where someone says “sorry I’m just taking this call in the car on my way to my next meeting” and then proceeds to keep their video on and engage with the video meeting while driving.

      I saw someone do this on the highway in traffic with her two toddlers in their car seats in the back. She had the phone on the area behind her steering wheel flicking through reels. I beeped at her. Even my kids were horrified!

      Working on the road in Traffic Management, driver awareness to changing road conditions is essential.

      The number of vehicles who fail to stop when we’re controlling traffic with a stop/slow bat has increased exponentially.

      Use your horn.

      The amount of times I’ve seen traffic at a total standstill, with no cars ahead for 200 meters while everyone behind an idiot like this just sit there.

      Boggles my mind how so many drivers are this patient. It only enforces the behaviour.

      If you see someone on their phone in any situation, honk the horn.

      I’m convinced a very large amount of traffic woes is caused by this lack of attention.

      Please report this. I pull up next to cars on my motorbike and see people literally swiping TikTok whilst driving. It’s wild. My mate almost died from one idiot like that, and I know people who lost people entirely. That dickhead will end up killing someone and you will save someone on the road by reporting this

      I see a lot of people watching YouTube or tv shows with their phone or iPad mounted.

      I was driving once, sat in traffic and I mindlessly picked up and unlocked my phone. First and last time I ever did that. I was horrified at myself, that I did it so automatically without even thinking.

      From that point on I kept my phone in the glovebox, because I lost trust in myself. I don’t drive anymore but I frequently nearly get cleaned up at pedestrian crossings by people on their phones. I’m really concerned with the direction we’re headed.
