Broken Traditions — Episode 41

This Is How Normal Scrolling and Driving Has Become

Your brain doesn't multitask — it task-switches. We break down why scrolling at red lights became normal, and the real crashes it's causing.

Every stoplight, every highway lane — somebody's scrolling. On this episode, Big Ellie and the crew dig into how scrolling on social media while driving quietly went from taboo to a habit nobody even questions anymore.

It started when Big Ellie began driving a Ford Transit and box truck for work — sitting up higher revealed just how many drivers are glued to their phones at every red light, from Atlanta to Bogotá.

We break down the real science behind it: the brain doesn't multitask, it task-switches, and that switch costs precious reaction time. We get into the numbers, and play real clips — including two gutting real cases of drivers whose phone use behind the wheel cost other people their lives.

We also ask the harder question: if alcohol, marijuana, and medication all carry warnings about driving, should social media platforms carry that same responsibility — especially now that Instagram has built an auto-scroll feature you can use hands-free behind the wheel?
