Also going 69 MPH? Nice.

Am I the only one that assumes the wife was driving? OP was asleep on the passenger seat, was woken by their wife for the milestone and took the picture?
Yeah, it’s literally in the title.
which means she took this picture while driving 110 km/h
Literally no, read it again: OP
- Was asleep
- was woken by wife and
- took picture
Wife didn’t need to take the picture, she woke OP to take the picture
Technically, nowhere it says she woke OP up.
She just remembered how important this was to OP to the point of either waking OP up and let take a pic, or take a pic on her own.
We will never know…
if op is the one who took the picture then there’s no problem indeed, my bad
For the sake of symmetry, I would’ve liked to see her step it up by 10 or 15 MPH, get in another 85. It is a good, crisp photo though. Can’t fault that.
i swear people on the internet have never driven a car before. you get used to the speed after like 10 seconds
that doesn’t mean you can just take your hands off the wheel to take a picture
it only takes one hand
and all of your attention
“am I the only one” is such a garbage statement. Overused attention seeking hyperbole.
I came to Lemmy to avoid this Reddit shit
Huh? It’s a very commonly-used English expression, nothing remotely related to Reddit
It’s a pointless phrase that is most often used on the internet.
It is used to whore for attention, because if someone is asking whether or not they are the only one, they should already know that the answer is “no,” yet proceeds to ask anyway. Thus, “am I the only one” disguises a statement of opinion as a question.
Am I the only one who came to Lemmy for more of that shit?
I hate people that text and drive. Pull over.
Wife took a picture, there is no texting and driving
I mean, she was definitely using her phone while driving at 70mph. Does it really matter whether or not she was taking a pic or sending a text? It’s still incredibly dangerous.
No, it was all safe. She took the picture from the passenger seat while OP was sleeping.
Must’ve been one of those new self driving cars lol
I feel like a lot of people have never done a long road trip where you’re driving hundreds of miles through the night. Taking your phone out and snapping a pic isn’t a huge deal IMO. I certainly don’t pull over to change my radio and taking a picture is arguably easier than that.
edit: with
I would argue it is harder and more dangerous. With the phone you need to unlock it, select camera app, then make sure it focuses (which doesn’t work that great at night, you have to look at the screen, tap on the area you want to focus), second thing is that due to low light conditions to avoid blurring you need to be perfectly still (which is hard to do in a moving car, especially if you are driving), this makes you check the picture then retry, then check again etc.
You likely could spend even a minute looking at the screen to make sure you got a good picture. Each time you switch your eyes need to adjust their focus which also takes a second, but that it is insignificant to the rest.
BTW: even changing the radio station takes enough attention to cause accidents (that’s why they started adding controls on the wheel), but taking a picture (especially at night) is way more dangerous.
On my phone I double tap the power button to launch the camera, then use the volume buttons to snap a pic. Doesn’t require me to look away from the road. Framing isn’t always right, but it’s 100% doable without taking your eyes off the road

do you really think you have to pay extremely vigilant attention every single second of the drive? do you think anyone does this besides the dorks that always comment this on these posts?

What are you smoking? Dude’s wife was driving at 70 mph and capturing this “milestone” …
Reckless af. Very easily could have lost control or read ended a family just traveling to their destination
Literally never. I value my life and those of others around me.
glad she slowed down to 70mph before taking the pic
If you look closer, you’ll see she’s doing 69.
70 mph so 110kmh. Basically standing from a German perspective. :)

The maintenance gets tough after 80,000 miles. She’s a good wife for letting you know the good days are done.
How about 180k?
Mine got angry at me for taking my picture, but she was talking about her dead dad at the time. (I didn’t say a word, just pulled out my camera and snapped the picture).
For context, they were astranged and she was relieved he died.
insert advice from random r/relationshipadvice user recommending you divorce and immediately go no contact
Hit a lawer, delete the gym. Get a facebook.
And that seemed like the best time for a selfie to you?
Where did I say anything about a selfie?
I read “me taking my picture” as a selfie. My bad.
What car is this dashboard from?
If it ain’t foggy at night: turn off your fog lights. They’re blinding oncoming traffic.
Boobs
Nice
Nice
Am I the only one here who doesn’t see the big deal? Op probably had to glance at their phone for like 2 seconds. If you’re going straight with no traffic I think that’s an extremely common thing to do once and a while, even to just switch music or whatever.
You don’t even need to look. Every smartphone will open the native camera app if you double tap the power button.
Ah yes, dangerous driving by idiots who don’t care if they kill people.
Classic.
