No, it's because he was in the video conference while driving showing that he was distracted and danger to pedestrians and cyclists.
If he's doing to drive recklessly he has no business deciding any matters of road safety.

    It’s all about levels.

    It’s entirely different to have a 30 second conversation about picking up milk compared to joining a work meeting.

    Especially when that work meeting is a video call that is distracting the driver (they are looking at the phone in the picture).

    There are definitely those that would ban all phone calls when driving.
