There sure are a lot of people in this thread willing to defend driving distracted for a fuckcars thread. I honestly can’t describe how fucking sick I am of “it’s okay when I do it” entitlement and I had hoped that the people here were above that.

I don't get why everyone is complaining about the folded mirrors when she has pixels all over her eyes.
Looks like it might be India? It used to be that everyone had them folded in because they would get snapped off in traffic. Also the noise from horns is loud AF. Still not great, but context matters.
The earphones aren't a problem per se, if you listen with approrpriate sound where you can still hear an ambulance coming or a car horn. I don't think this person is doing that, but lets guve them the benefit of the doubt. But the mirrors folded is next level stupudity. There is no doubt that this person should be driving at all.
It's not the case here obviously, but fyi for others that airpods 2/3 can function as OTC hearing aids that are more affordable than prescription. I have a family member who uses them.
You can also see well-enough to drive while blindfolded if the material is thin enough. Doesn't mean that it should be legal to drive with a blindfold over your eyes.
It's illegal. And we need more people getting caught and held accountable.
Side note about driver awareness: I see a lot of cars on the road with rear windows so dirty that they're virtually opaque. The cars clearly have wipers and washers. I can only assume these drivers never check their mirrors. Baffling.
Rear windows serve no useful purpose. You need to look at what's in front, not what's behind
Do you guys remember that before Bluetooth cars, headphones were the only way to drive and take a phone call without getting a ticket? And we don't know this woman's situation, someone could have hit her car and the mirrors broke and she's on her way to the mechanic. Let's normalize not taking pictures of people without their knowledge and then making fun of them on the internet.

Absolutely. Speakerphones were never a thing, and phone manufacturers never made wired accessories or aux cables to connect to your car stereo.


someone could have hit her car and the mirrors broke
True. Broken mirrors look exactly like they've been neatly tucked in.
Let's be real here. She gives zero shits about anyone around her. I see it DAILY. No fucking way she's taking that to the mechanic right now. I don't care about the headphones but she does not give a fuck about anyone else
There’s a number of things that I strongly believe should result in an automatic short term suspension, because the driver clearly has no fucking clue what they’re doing. Driving without lights lights off at night (I don’t give a shit about your auto lights, turn them on manually because it’s not working) and driving with folded mirrors are two of the items. Failing to clear snow off glass is another.
Driving with two earphones in is a problem. They simply do a better job of blocking ambient sound than the car speakers. People get mad ad pedestrians or cyclists who don’t hav situational awareness because of their headphones; drivers have a greater responsibility because of the size of their vehicle.
The best example of ignorance yet. Like nothing outside of their car exists!
I don't care about the earphones. May as well say the deaf can't drive.
WEET CORN
Meanwhile OP seems to be driving with their seatbelt off because it's out of focus frame left
