    I already ranted about this ex once today, but what the hell. He’s such a shit driver that I can share more.

    This guy loved podcasts. We’d listen to some together when we drove. But what bothered me was when he’d have a video podcast - he’d put it on his iPad and sit it up over his infotainment screen with the video playing. He insisted that it didn’t distract him, but I saw how often he glanced down at it. Hardly 10 seconds could go by without him looking over. Meanwhile, he’d be driving down the highway 70 mph.

    That’s about when I told him that when he’s driving, I’d be holding the tablet. I wouldn’t be surprised if he kept doing it when I wasn’t around though.

      Absolute insanity. I remember when my best friend got his license, like 24 years ago. He was the first of my friends to drive. Phones weren’t really a thing back tgen, but these full matrix car radios just came up, and he had one. I still remember like it’s yesterday when we were driving and he said: it’s kinda crazy, that you look at your radio and dial ome nubs and suddenly you are like 400 meters further without looking on the road, that shouldn’t be legal. And i thought: yeah, that is crazy. Boy, we had no idea back then
