Italian outlet Moto.it has published a report on driver distraction as seen from a motorcyclist's elevated riding position, noting that crashes have risen sharply since traffic volumes returned after the pandemic.

In social terms, this piece is telling. The fact that a motorcycle's higher seating position gives you a clear view into cars, catching drivers glued to their phones, feels exactly right — I noticed the same thing back when I lived in London. Enforcement won't catch up unless someone goes as far as France did, banning all earpieces outright while driving.

Traffic volume bouncing back post-pandemic and crashes rising with it — I've heard this everywhere.

France banning earphones outright while driving — is that really necessary?

Wait, mandatory hands-free means calls themselves are still allowed?

Makes sense that being up higher on a bike actually lets you see things cars don't.

Tutor not catching phone calls at all — that's a huge gap in the system.

Relying entirely on enforcement tech isn't really the fix here either.
