You’re still driving a car while stopped mate. This is the reasoning that leads to people drinking while they are stopped. They aren’t technically driving… but it’s obviously not safe and shouldn’t be done.
Do you think being stopped means it’s safe to use your phone behind the wheel?
How are you supposed to make an evasive maneuver if the car behind you can’t stop? Or if someone starts crossing the road and is now laying on the road from falling?
You’re not quickly getting your car out of the way of someone else if you’re fully stopped. Most of them don’t accelerate nearly fast enough for that.
Besides, pretty sure I would just stall the car if I tried evading someone quickly while probably slightly panicked.
You don’t do an evasive manoeuvre for emergency vehicles. You should hear and see them coming from quite a distance. You just scoot over in a regular way.
Hope you aren’t using a phone to send this. Who knows what could happen during that time. Maybe someone puts the big red launch nukes button under your foot and you start nuclear winter when you go to stand up.
That’s obviously something that’s impossible to happen.
If you think that neither of those are possible, or countless others… you’re a hazard on the road. There is absolutely no reason to use your phone while stopped, anything can happen, and you won’t notice while you’re sending that text.
I seriously hope OP has stopped to take that pic and didn’t just pull out the phone while driving to do this.

Yet people condone it? Fucking hell.
🤨 can’t tell if serious
You could get hit by a meteorite while not driving, so you must always have full attention at steering wheel
Looks like some sort of red light is off to the side, so probably stopped?
That’s a truck tail light…
Oh, true. Doubly hopefully stopped if they’re that close to the vehicle in front of them.

How are you supposed to make an evasive manoeuvre at all when standing still?
Move your foot from the brake to the gas and steer out of the way…?
How is this even a question lmfao.
