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 dont use headphones while driving but I'm not okay with whats going on in this thread. No one runs around maliciously with their mirror tucked to be an asshole.

    Instead of taking a picture of someone without their knowledge (which looks like it was taken from a car on the road funnily enough and no one is ripping on the photographer), it would have been even easier to honk and let her know her mirror is closed.

    And then taking the next step and positing it online so people could make fun of her is even worse.

    Everyone occasionally has a day. Be a human and try and treat others with the respect you would like to have too.

    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 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.

    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.

    Nokia 810 car phone

    Sony Ericsson car phone kit

    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.

    I don't care about the earphones. May as well say the deaf can't drive.
