My teens call it rotting when you are sitting on your phone watching videos for large chunks of time. Sometimes slang gets it right. While getting ready for work today, I heard on CNBC that Americans use tiktok 75 minutes a day! Wow. That is a lot. I would guess that I only use about half that, but still it’s ridiculous. What does this have to do with personal injury?
Well, truly, people are attached to their phones and it’s causing havoc. If you are checking ticktok or snapchat while driving, you are endangering everyone around you. It’s just the truth. Nevertheless, people do a lot of stuff that is dangerous to themselves and others. That’s what I am here for.
The scary thing is watching people driving and realizing that they are on their phones as you pass them. Most of the weird inexplicable crashes these days are caused by people on their phones. What used to be drunk drivers causing crashes in the middle of the night on a weekend is now something that occurs in broad daylight on a Wednesday.
