Am I the only one that assumes the wife was driving? OP was asleep on the passenger seat, was woken by their wife for the milestone and took the picture?
Yeah, it's literally in the title.
which means she took this picture while driving 110 km/h
Literally no, read it again: OP
Wife didn't need to take the picture, she woke OP to take the picture
if op is the one who took the picture then there's no problem indeed, my bad
Technically, nowhere it says she woke OP up.
She just remembered how important this was to OP to the point of either waking OP up and let take a pic, or take a pic on her own.
We will never know...
I hate people that text and drive. Pull over.
Wife took a picture, there is no texting and driving
I mean, she was definitely using her phone while driving at 70mph. Does it really matter whether or not she was taking a pic or sending a text? It's still incredibly dangerous.
No, it was all safe. She took the picture from the passenger seat while OP was sleeping.
I feel like a lot of people have never done a long road trip where you're driving hundreds of miles through the night. Taking your phone out and snapping a pic isn't a huge deal IMO. I certainly don't pull over to change my radio and taking a picture is arguably easier than that.
edit: with
I would argue it is harder and more dangerous. With the phone you need to unlock it, select camera app, then make sure it focuses (which doesn't work that great at night, you have to look at the screen, tap on the area you want to focus), second thing is that due to low light conditions to avoid blurring you need to be perfectly still (which is hard to do in a moving car, especially if you are driving), this makes you check the picture then retry, then check again etc.
You likely could spend even a minute looking at the screen to make sure you got a good picture. Each time you switch your eyes need to adjust their focus which also takes a second, but that it is insignificant to the rest.
BTW: even changing the radio station takes enough attention to cause accidents (that's why they started adding controls on the wheel), but taking a picture (especially at night) is way more dangerous.
To be fair, I just press the power button twice and it automatically opens the camera app. I wouldn't even have to look to take this picture. That said, I don't use my phone while driving because that shit is dangerous no matter what.
I have Sony Xperia phone which has a physical dedicated camera button, that doubles as a shutter button once camera is activated. Despite of that, no matter how much I tried I failed to take a legible picture of back of my neck (I needed it to be sharp so I could send it to my doctor) and after many tries (even with using a mirror) I gave up and had someone to do it for me.
It is really hard to take a sharp picture of something close without looking, especially with low light conditions.
On my phone I double tap the power button to launch the camera, then use the volume buttons to snap a pic. Doesn't require me to look away from the road. Framing isn't always right, but it's 100% doable without taking your eyes off the road
Must've been one of those new self driving cars lol
glad she slowed down to 70mph before taking the pic
If you look closer, you’ll see she’s doing 69.
oh, that would be unsafe on the road
Honestly it's hard to pull off in bucket seats as well.
70 mph so 110kmh. Basically standing from a German perspective. :)

Wide open eyes
The maintenance gets tough after 80,000 miles. She's a good wife for letting you know the good days are done.
Maybe in the 1970s. Any modern car worth owning will be way more reliable than that if you change your oil regularly.
We have a 2004 F-150 with 565,000 miles on the original engine and it's still running great. We had to get a new transmission at 240k, and I think that's the only repair it's needed over about $200.00
How about 180k?
I got multiple SAABs (Pre GM/1991 or older) to over 1,000,000 miles. Got one to 1,500,000. Never quite hit the golden 2,000,000 mile mark though. Plenty of other people did though. Volvo even has a couple cars that made it to 2,000,000. Don't know of any other brands that will make it that far. Maybe some unicorn of a Honda or Toyota.
That's insane. My Subaru is approaching 200k which I thought was pretty good.
If it ain't foggy at night: turn off your fog lights. They're blinding oncoming traffic.
