It went from 0 to 100 really quickly

Just cancel the ride. I had a driver drive erratically and asked them to pull over so I could get out. There's no point in arguing.

The fact that the driver was watching a movie/tv show instead of focusing on the map entirely

Does this woman not have her seatbelt on ?

In Soviet Russia road watch you

Hear me out, It’s for the content not her actually concerned with safety.

That Lyft chick should not be driving herself let alone other people. I hope she got dumped.

I don't agree with watching anything while driving but I do occasionally put a TV show that is a comfort show for me on for the audio while I drive.

I don't think you can watch that little postage stamp of video but a lot of streaming apps make you have that little bit open to hear the audio.

I don't think we can judge people listening to a TV show instead of music and I think this is blown entirely out of proportion for no reason.

Edit: I don't think the driver handled the situation well at all but as a struggling American I can understand burnout.

I don’t know what state they’re in but it’s definitely not illegal to have one earbud in where I am, and I don’t know if it is anywhere. One earbud functions as a hands-free device to answer calls, so I actually always keep one in while I’m driving.

I wouldn’t be watching a show though lol but if you’re really just listening it’s not any different than a podcast or audiobook

Dude I've been seeing so many people lately drive while watching a show or movie and it terrifies me. I look at just my dash for 5 seconds and get anxiety I may have not seen a car brake

ETA: okay yeah I get 5 seconds IS a long time to develop anxiety. I'm at a brewery after a stressful work and over exaggerated. My bad haha

Omg girl, listen to your friend telling you to stop. While the driver is not in the right in this situation, she clearly has something wrong with her that could turn the situation extremely dangerous, she could easily drive into a wall and kill you. If my friend ignored me and escalated a situation like this, I would absolutely cut her off. Both the driver and the friend are dangerous.
