People are experts at multitasking.  They have no problem having one hand
on the wheel, one hand holding their sandwich, and one hand on their beer.
It's all perfectly safe.  So how could anyone possibly be at risk just because
they are paying attention to the person on Facebook whose political beliefs
are clearly wrong instead of to the road?  The road can take care of itself.
And turn signals?  Those other people have no business knowing where you're
going.  They should keep to themselves.
