I don't get why everyone is complaining about the folded mirrors when she has pixels all over her eyes.

Looks like it might be India? It used to be that everyone had them folded in because they would get snapped off in traffic. Also the noise from horns is loud AF. Still not great, but context matters.

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.

There’s a number of things that I strongly believe should result in an automatic short term suspension, because the driver clearly has no fucking clue what they’re doing. Driving without lights lights off at night (I don’t give a shit about your auto lights, turn them on manually because it’s not working) and driving with folded mirrors are two of the items. Failing to clear snow off glass is another.
Driving with two earphones in is a problem. They simply do a better job of blocking ambient sound than the car speakers. People get mad ad pedestrians or cyclists who don’t hav situational awareness because of their headphones; drivers have a greater responsibility because of the size of their vehicle.

She's preoccupied with the thought of picking up a delicious weet cornb.
The earphones aren't a problem per se, if you listen with approrpriate sound where you can still hear an ambulance coming or a car horn. I don't think this person is doing that, but lets guve them the benefit of the doubt. But the mirrors folded is next level stupudity. There is no doubt that this person should be driving at all.
replies:
This picture looks like it was taken in India.
I don't care about the earphones. May as well say the deaf can't drive.

Meanwhile OP seems to be driving with their seatbelt off because it's out of focus frame left
replies:
Side note about driver awareness: I see a lot of cars on the road with rear windows so dirty that they're virtually opaque. The cars clearly have wipers and washers. I can only assume these drivers never check their mirrors. Baffling.
replies:
The best example of ignorance yet. Like nothing outside of their car exists!
It was a really snowy day.
Their entire car was covered with snow, except for an eyeslit the size of a business envelope for the driver to look out of.
Crazy people in giant metal boxes.

I want some of that weet corn
What's with the sun visor? Looks like a partially deflated helium balloon to me.
replies:
probably still safer than the average super insulated modern vehicle with blinding headlights, massive blind spots, and a cockpit lit up like an airport so the driver's night vision is ruined
Do you guys remember that before Bluetooth cars, headphones were the only way to drive and take a phone call without getting a ticket? And we don't know this woman's situation, someone could have hit her car and the mirrors broke and she's on her way to the mechanic. Let's normalize not taking pictures of people without their knowledge and then making fun of them on the internet.
replies:
The car isn't the problem, the idiocy is the problem
replies:
No distractions, I am trying to drive here!
Should have FSD on and napping!
There's no problem with driving with earphones.
The mirrors are a problem though
headphones are perfectly normal
replies:
LOL.
There's loads of places where people drive with mirrors tucked in so motorbikes don't clip them when they drive past while you're waiting at the lights.
Headphones? Who cares.
