Your partner is trying to stop you from killing yourself. The majority of country roads have no pedestrian lanes, foliage obstructing oncoming traffic and wildlife like deer threatening to put Safelite back on your speed dial.

I concur with the other comments, this is a "yes dear" moment that you'll appreciate once you're older.

> Your partner is trying to stop you from killing yourself.

Or worse, someone else.

If someone kills themselves because they are driving distracted and they chose to distract themselves, that's just evolution IMO. But if anyone else is hurt, then it is a tragedy.

Sounds like their partner is not trying to do that, if they're getting mad at OP for refusing to not focus on the road?

Your self rightousness got in the way of your reading comprehension.

I dont drive distracted but i can understand why others do. I like anything that helps them focus more.
