Why do people feel the need to take photos while driving for internet points?

For the internet points of course

Did you consider that they're the passenger?

No. Passenger would need to be nearly leaning into the driver, very close to the windshield in order to get this angle with no obstruction.

That might be worse. At least OP has an unobstructed view (through their phone) in this case.

So people have these things called Arms. And they're pretty remarkable actually, but they allow you to R E A C H across a certain plain of distance, and at the end of the arm is a joint called a "wrist," and it turns and twists and pivots, allowing you to—Yeah, you get what I'm saying.

The passenger only had to lean forwards and reach their arm out a little. This isn't rocket science. You're just assuming the worst and pretending you have a degree in forensics.

Chill.

Look at the image. Look at the road. It’s not rocket science.

Because hands free is the way be, hands free from the steering wheel. Live Hands Free and Die.

Takes a second to take a photo.
