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.
