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
