Just asked around my office to the other daily glass users. All three of us disagree with you.

1 anecdote vs 3 anecdotes... If only anecdotes proved anything in a debate.

I wear it all the time when I drive and I've even traveled at ~95mph for a sustained period of time on the toll road nearby. In addition it is worth mentioning that I rarely look at it while I'm moving.




"I wear it all the time when I drive and I've even traveled at ~95mph..."

And that's why I don't drive.


11% over the speed limit (85mph) is completely average.

Trust me, I'd prefer no person be allowed to drive. It is insanely dangerous and most people are really bad at it. I worked on autonomous cars about five years ago and I cannot wait for the technology to be consumer ready.


Yeah, my point was about both the speed and the very concept of being so blasé about how dangerous it might be to get distracted at those kind of speeds. Or pretty much any speed, to be honest.

I too cannot wait for autonomous cars; I hope a day will come when I can actually use one without needing a license! Luckily, where I live, public transport is good enough that I would only really benefit from a car a handful of times each year, and I'm happy to forgo that for the benefits - financial, environmental, safety, etc.
