Politicians in the Bay Area want to remove bike lanes from the Richmond-San Rafael bridge because they are worried about traffic congestion.
Cyclists say removing these bike lanes will put them in danger.

During the public hearing, commissioner Karl Hasz was spotted driving his car
Yes... let's reschedule a public hearing because one person had a conflict? Maybe we could just adapt to people having lives and working?
Being on a video call while operating a motor vehicle is dangerous and should be illegal in any sane jurisdiction under distracted driving laws.
As long as it’s setup, how’s it different than talking to a passenger? It’s completely hands free at that point.
Considering the frame they caught him in he's not looking at the road. Is it eyes free?
So can’t shoulder check or look at your passengers? Can’t adjust volume or other settings on your dash?Wrong thing to complain about lol. There’s hundreds of things that take your attention away from the road for a second or two that’s normally done while operating a vehicle already.
Those aren't the same things and you should know that.
This isn't taking your attention off the road for *a second or two as you say. This is the type of thing that splits your attention. And humans are terrible at multitasking at the level required for this.
Edit: *
As a driving instructor myself: you're the person I warn my learners about 👍
A passenger is somewhat aware of the surroundings and might shut up to let the driver concentrate on traffic every now and then. A video call - especially with a group - probably can't and won't
It was scheduled. He could have taken measures, He could have parked for a while . This somehow is his job...
I do take calls in the car but when I need to focus on the call I either ask to call back or park. If I don't need to focus that means the call isn't important enough to keep it going for too long.

When you are driving your attention should be on the road not on the phone while a hearing about bike lane is going on
which is kind of funny wanting to remove a bike lane that help protect cyclist while driving dangerously
So can’t talk to passengers either then? It’s hands free once it's setup, there’s nothing inherently wrong with what’s being done actually.
Ah yes, the classic "these things share one property so they share all properties" argument.
Blinking closes your eyes. You can safely drive and blink. Thus, you can drive safely with your eyes closed.
Wow, that's a good one, I should remember to try next time I drive
But yeah, I ride a bicycle, so what do I know about safety anyway. So touching when people remove bike lanes to improve traffic, because they care <3
If when you talk all your attention is on the passenger like looking at them all the time and not the road then no you should not
video chatting with a screen visible to the driver? fk no. also his setup and use of it violates cvc 27602.
Every car now has screens visible to the driver
And that dumb af and proven to be bad for driving focus that why button are making a comeback ( slowly )
One person was in their car tele conferencing from FUCKING TRAFFIC you stripped and rounded nut.
Fantastic insult, if I’m being honest. Also, yes.
Unless the conflict was like "someone close to me is giving birth" tier, he could have scheduled better.
Your handle is definitely appropriate, troll.
