Omg this is the worst. Everybody seems to have forgotten how to get through an intersection without lights. I've been stuck in a left turn lane for 10 minutes.

Just two more lights until I get onto the freeway. Pray for me.

Wrong!
In the end, it doesn't matter whether that call or text is being sent or answered using a hand-held orhands-free device. The distraction is there because your mind is at least partially focused on something other than the road and that can lead to crashes, injuries, or even death

Could be worse. Police could be directing traffic.

East-west gets to go for NINE MILLION MINUTES, now it's north-south's turn for NINE MILLION MINUTES.

I remember that. My town had 5 stoplights all on a major road. So going north and south wasnt a issue. It was people not knowing how to enter traffic.

You can have passengers, but good practice is to focus on the road and they can speak to each other.

I hear ya. Either you have people that don't know how to stagger and just sit there waiting for someone to wave them on or A-holes (usually in Trucks) that don't care and just go as soon as they get in front...and then Honk at the car whose turn it actually was.

I hate when the power goes out here because some intersections are randomly powered and others are out

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

An argument or claim in which two completely opposing arguments appear to be logically equivalent when in fact they are not. The confusion is often due to one shared characteristic between two or more items of comparison in the argument that is way off in the order of magnitude, oversimplified, or just that important additional factors have been ignored.
Logical Form:
Thing 1 and thing 2 both share characteristic A.
Therefore, things 1 and 2 are equal.

Both have high auditory distractions while driving.

Biggest difference I have seen from studies is that passengers in the car can atleast be aware of where you are at when driving. This can allow them to not talk when hazards are around or even provide assistance to spotting hazards. People on a phone call do not have an awareness of where you are when driving.

I survived the traffic but was almost done in by a moose yoloing across the highway 4 hours later.

Still don't know what caused the outage, no news about it, and it was just the traffic lights, everything else had power. They were out for hours too.
