A man was killed on September the 8th when he was run down by a driver watching a TikTok video. The driver has now been charged with a Felony.
The topic has been one we have blogged and done countless advertisements concerning not texting and driving. This is essentially the same thing as it takes the drivers eyes off the road. How many football fields did this driver cover as she looked away ?
The supporters of such apps have defended the concern by pointing out what other distractions drivers have. While it is true that there are other distractions, they shouldn’t be added to or simply replaced. It also is important to remember that there is a major problem with any distraction that takes your eyes from the road. Any phone app would take the driver totally out of driving.
