It is now a common occurrence to see crazy people who are obsessed with taking selfies while driving! I personally have witnessed numerous cases where silly people would be busy taking selfies while driving regardless whether the car is moving fast or slow. In most cases it would be during slow traffic or when the car is stopped at the traffic lights. Naturally this would cause distraction to the driver and would be dangerous if the car is still in motion.
the bulk of the selfies taken in the car are women (this is in Asia but may not be the case in other countries) that are under 35 years old. they use either a selfie stick or directly with the phone. there were several cases of a group of people who took selfies while driving that died in a car accident just shortly after. It is highly distracting and is a terrible trend. Why would you be so obsessed with taking your own picture all the time? are you really that insecure??
This selfie taking trend while driving is leading to many more accidents and the lack of responsibility will endanger other road users. One may call me old fashioned but it is more about being practical about safety while driving. What would happen if a small child was cross the street or stepped on the street to pick up a ball and the on coming car's driver is busy taking his or her own picture?!
Taking a selfie while driving is just as bad if not worse than texting while driving! All it takes is a split second of distraction to cause an accident.
