Driving & doing FB live!! Say what?!

iTalia — Tue, 03 Oct 2017 19:59:41 GMT

Has our world become so consumed with Facebook that now not only do people have to post their every move, but now they also must be driving and doing a Facebook live video is well?? LR does this often and it makes me so nervous watching it I have to turn it off. Not only is it so dangerous but it just leads me to believe she does this to gain popularity and to make her tribe feel like they are all just friends.

Social media is out of control these days.

It should be illegal.

When you're driving, you shouldn't be distracted by talking to the Tribe.

There actually was an incident like that a few months ago where a young girl was doing that. She wrecked her car and killed her best friend in the process.

It doesn't help when she keeps futzing with her eyelash. She's basically driving with the one eye- and most of the time she's looking at herself.

That's really dangerous...

It should be illegal. Yet her "tribe" LOVES it and thinks she is just so much fun and a real friend. It's pitiful. I truly hope she doesn't hurt anyone in her car, or anyone else on the road.

Driving + electronics = no-no.

But, how many of us talk to the passengers in our vehicle as we're driving?

How many of us talk back to the talk-radio that we're listening to?

How many of us sing along to a song on the radio?

How many of us are going over our day in our heads, while we are driving?

How many of us take a drink of water while we are driving?

While using a hand held device while driving is not safe, there are other things that people do on a daily basis while driving that could be considered "distractions".

Yes @Bri36 that too!! Either remove those faux eyelashes that are too long or get new contacts like she claims that's what the problem is. I personally think it has nothing to do with contacts as she is always futzing with her eye even on the chats. It's very distracting. Add that to goofing around while driving, looking at everyone in the car and then looking back at the FB chat and then finally her eyes make it back to the road. She even commented that someone almost side swiped them! But of course she says it was the other driver's fault.

I just don't understand the need to always stay connected!

Yep. I've brought this up before on other LR threads. I saw it once when it popped up on FB that she was live and there she was, driving her car. She kept turning around to someone I think in the back seat.

I didn't stick around because it was making me nervous and making me angry that she would be so careless. I did read some comments from people as this was live that she shouldn't be doing this. I'm guessing they are now banned from her page. LOL

@Lipstickdiva I am sure. A few today already got told to "stop with the angry faces" and "if you don't like this page, leave."

She needs to stay connected to her tribe to keep their interest so they keep on buying. I guess they don't know about Zullily, Wayfair, Amazon etc. Her numbers on FB haven't been going up as they did in the past so more videos, more co called chats (actually sales pitch chats) and then she posts pics of her tribe wearing her jewelry or displaying their new decor.

I didn't know of the driving video so I had to look. And I really watch with no volume and only the first few minutes. Besides not watching the road, OMG, she makes so many facial expressions. Really.

For me the difference is, I never look at my phone while driving. It is connected via bluetooth; if I need directions, I plug that in before I leave. If I change the radio station, I do it with buttons on my steering wheel - keeping my eyes on the road. I just do not understand in this day and age, with so many distracted drivers, we have to be defensive drivers and alert to reach our destinations unharmed. Why on Earth would anyone not do that?

"Stop with the angry faces"?!

Say what?

Seriously?

Oh, good gravy!

@Mj12, what is so important that she has to chat about while driving?

Re: Driving & doing FB live!! Say what?!

Bri36 — Tue, 03 Oct 2017 21:13:35 GMT

All she talks about is nonsense anyway.

Re: Driving & doing FB live!! Say what?!

Thanks for letting me know - love her little videos.

Most new cars are electronically equipment with video screens on the dashboards and blue tooth and so much more.

Better to be hands free and be able to talk to your settings rather than look down and try to adjust. Have to get current with technology...

More distracting is James Cordens Carpool Karoke.

For someone who has such disdain for LR you sure check on her alot.

@Plaid Pants2 I do agree with everything you have said. There are many ways to be distracted. I try to pay attention to exactly one thing.... DRIVE. I have seen some really crazy things happen..

As a passenger I have noticed....

1. Drivers with lunch bags on their steering wheels and they are actually eating while driving

2 Texting and looking down at their lap

3. Applying cosmetics and or brushing hair and grooming

4. Sharing the wheel with a dog (dog probably should have the license

_____________

I will never forget the advice of my high school journalism teacher.... "no human being can pay attention to two things at exactly the same time, so don't even try to."

You must not read the comments on her FB page, because there were people in her “tribe” that disapproved and told her so.

LR thinks she is the next James Corden.

The key there is “in her tribe.” Once a person says something (anything) that displeases her, they are either banned from the page, roundly trounced by the tribe, or pithed at by Lisa herself, and are no longer in the tribe. The tribe consists of only those who never say a less than positive word about what Lisa sells, thinks and does.

Distracted driving is at the least negligent and at the worst criminal. If anyone thinks the brain continues to perform one task as well after they start adding other things -- the popular "multitasking" we like to boast about -- I'd suggest reading studies on this. The responsibility we take on when we get behind the wheel of a car and propel it down a road is enormous. People's lives are in much more danger the minute we decide we don't need to devote 100% to awareness of the road, the car, and everything going on around it. Trying to convince ourselves otherwise, or ridicule or minimize the seriousness of this problem, is worrisome and deadly.
