I cant imagine anyone coming on here and declaring they dont GAF and drive recklessly. It isnt socially acceptable, so I would guess only those looking for attention or socios would do such a thing.
I drive better than I used to when I was younger...or I have just learned to do a better job of avoiding accidents and speed traps.
Tough to tell- self evaluation when it comes to driving is comically inaccurate.
I look at my phone to open Amazon Music or pick a podcast- to me its the same as selecting a CD/tape/8track.
I also look at my phone when using Google Maps. Thats usually at a stoplight though- planning ahead cuz Im such a good boyscout.
All seriousness, if my driving habits have changed over the last 15 years, I would associate it to having kids vs cycling.
