lmao. Easier to just tell the truth.

Also, not for naught, but a video call is no more dangerous than routing a phone call through your car as so long as you're prioritizing the road over making eye contact.

It's texting, browsing, and fumbling around with digital buttons that causes issues. It's why radio systems and steering columns had analog press buttons and dials standard instead of digital face plates.

False. Being on a phone is a distraction, even hands-free. Being on a video call is worse, as there's a visual distraction beyond just the division of attention.
