Don't Think and Drive

"REMEMBER, IT'S ILLEGAL TO USE YOUR PHONE WHILE DRIVING. INSTEAD, USE THE GIANT IPAD BUILT INTO THE CAR."

This is a black and white single-panel satirical comic set inside a car. A nervous, sweating male driver sits behind the steering wheel in the driver's seat, while a female passenger in the front passenger seat points at an oversized built-in touchscreen infotainment system (referred to as a giant iPad) mounted on the car's dashboard. The text above the image reads 'REMEMBER, IT'S ILLEGAL TO USE YOUR PHONE WHILE DRIVING. INSTEAD, USE THE GIANT IPAD BUILT INTO THE CAR.' The joke highlights the logical inconsistency of road safety regulations that ban handheld phone use while driving, yet permit equally distracting large built-in car touchscreens that require the same type of visual attention and manual interaction from drivers, implying the rule is arbitrarily enforced and makes little logical sense, aligning with the original title 'don't think and drive'.

This meme was sourced from the Reddit subreddit r/Meme via RSS, with the original submitted title 'don’t think and drive'. It satirizes a widely discussed frustration with modern vehicle design that prioritizes large, complex touchscreen controls over physical buttons, paired with inconsistent road safety laws that treat phone use while driving as a dangerous infraction but do not restrict interaction with equally distracting built-in car infotainment systems.
