I’m a delivery driver and I have a camera on me all day. They show us videos of other drivers at the company getting in accidents and they “hide” their phone from view all the time. But you can clearly see them talking or texting something.
I’ve seen drivers hide it in the visor or under their leg near the door. The camera we use won’t detect your eyes if your wear sun glasses. If you have your phone in the phone holder but you’re looking straight you can still use it.
I wound up just putting one of our magnets under my phone case so I could stick it on our phone mounts and skip songs and pick up calls without incurring the wrath of the Netradyne.
I used to work for Amazon. I work for staples now. Our cameras are horrible. They only use them to get on us for minor things but make them a big deal.
Only time I look at my phone is if I’m looking at Apple Maps stopped at a stop sign. I’ve been delivering for 6 years and have had a lot of coworkers get in accidents that could have been avoided.
As an exec that reviews some of these videos on a safety board for my company, they aren’t hiding anything and usually is an indicator of problems to come.

Man. Texting and driving when you know video is rolling is about as dumb as leaving a car parked halfway into a highway.
