During the public hearing, commissioner Karl Hasz was spotted driving his car
I don’t understand the upset, cause he owns a car? Is that enough to make someone a bad person now?
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.
So when mum calls to ask if we need milk, she’sa villain!
If she doesn’t call handsfree yeah
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.
I think you missed the mark.
Would you tele conference from traffic? Do you think that’s a good idea? Why or why not?
