Drivers also tend to keep attention on the road a lot less in the movies.

And I always anticipate an "unexpected" crash that almost never happens. Even in shows where it would never happen.

That view of the driver, looking out from the front passenger side out the driver's window always makes me anxious for this reason. It's like Chekhov's gun. Why would they pick that angle unless the characters were about to get T-boned?

I dunno, have you seen the drivers out there? Pretty sure some of them are watching movies.

They are. I’ve seen phones being on magnet mounts or held on the steering wheel with videos playing.
