    You’re conflating voice calls with video calls. I don’t think Video calls are legal while driving anywhere.

      The aspect that makes it illegal is not if a camera is on or not, but if you actively control your phone with a hand. Using Siri? No problem. Video calls? Same. Texting? Big No No. And this makes total sense. I still struggle to understand what the big deal about this is. It is just based on wild assumptions (“he endangers cyclists” or “he is not paying attention”), no more no less. As if this shit was the biggest problem right now. How about you tell your government to not support Israel? Start with solving the real problems first.

        Non-resident aggressively commenting on another country’s driving laws then shit talking foreign policy out of nowhere. Bold strategy, Cotton.

        The fact is that a video call implies that your eyes are on the video. In this case while driving. Do you see how that’s problematic? Your argument is some weird whataboutism.

          You obviously never had a video call while driving and you act like you always look at the road 100% of the time. Hypocrite doing hypocritical things I guess.

        Car drivers in the last two years killed about 80,000 people in the US. That is of a similar scale to the murders in Gaza. So your point that this is unimportant is off base.

          Imagine being so absolutely unhinged and saying shit like that. This is absolutely mental. Comparing a few car accidents with a genozide. No wonder you have a president like the current.
