text: Being on social media while driving is a definite no, it is as bad as texting while driving. You are only distracting yourself while being on social media while driving. That is something you could do when you get to your destination or when you get home. Being on social media is not important enough to risk your life over. Why would you ever put liking a picture on instagram over the safety of your life. Texting and being on social media are more dangerous than anything else. You might think it's stupid like "omg why would anyone ever be on social media while driving" but trust me, a lot of people do it. Apparently checking someone's snapchat story is more important than your life.
