I don't watch videos as i drive, i listen to them. I wanna hear what ChubbyEmu has to say about "emia, presence in blood".

Unless a commercial comes on, then I'm focusing all of my attention on the screen until that skip button pops up. I've only hit two cyclist this year, so clearly nothing needs to change

Two cyclists, ☝️ presenting to the emergency room

...with cerebral edema. Cerebral, from Latin, for brain. Edema, from Greek, for swelling. Swelling of the brain

Sounds like less ads in your videos would help you focus on the road more.

Why focus on the road when I have cruise control? Clearly you have no idea how cars work, let alone massively oversized trucks with four doors and a tonneau cover that never gets removed (it reduces wind drag and thus helps the planet. I'm_doing_my_part.gif)

I know your joking, but I recently got a more modern car which has the lane assist and adaptive cruise control and all I could think was how this was going to enable more distracted driving now.
