Do Turkish taxi drivers not have televisions in their cabs?
It took some getting used to in Milano.

The number of people I see using their phone is ridiculous. Genuinely I've seen people watching Netflix or YouTube whilst they are driving.
Fining is no good, take away their licence.

All the research I've seen suggests that most passengers aren't idiots, and can see when the road situation changes and demands more concentration from the driver, and they stop talking. People on the other end of a phone can't take those cues.
And, also, that concentration levels anyway go down when someone's on the phone. We've all seen an idiot pedestrian on the phone walk straight into someone - which is ample enough evidence to me that it's not just the hands-free aspect that makes phones while driving dangerous.

Talking to passengers in normal conversation doesn't compare.
That carpool fucking karaoke or that wanker Robert Thingy-PlaysthatAndroidPoshbloke refusing to WATCH THE FUCKING ROAD while he's driving.
A whole new level of twatterage.

What they didn't say was that conversations in the car with people to the side or rear of you can have you turning your head or looking at them through the mirror instead of focusing on the road, which I have often found to be the case as both driver and passenger.

The battle lines appear to be being drawn.
