What's the most common example of extreme stupidity?

Checking 'just one message' while driving.
#JustOneMessage can take a life.

When I first got my drivers licence 30 years ago 'fiddling' with the radio was widely recognised as a dangerous distraction while #driving

Then we recognised that cell phone use while driving was also #DistractedDriving and that smart phones made it worse.

But we still refuse to recognise that large vehicle displays (for both vehicle system controls and navigation) are also dangerous distractions. The simple fact is that anything, anything, that takes your eyes off the road while driving is a distraction and any distraction that is not absolutely necessary (i.e. checking speedometer) is a dangerous distraction.

Look, #Volkswagen, what I want is a ‘disable all notifications’ option similar to what my phone has.

If I can tell my phone to leave me alone because I’m driving, surely I should be able to tell me car to do the same!
