In the cave I live in, it is not known to all that standing at a red light and not moving is considered operating a vehicle. In addition, when I asked why this is a problem, he answered that a car can have an accident even with the car, and all the cars around it, not moving. When I asked how this is physically possible, he had nothing to say. His partner tried telling me about how driving while playing with electronic devices can lead to accidents. I agreed with him, but when I asked what does that have to do with the case at hand, he also had nothing to say.
The idea wasn't to "win" a debate with them, but just to understand what the issue was.
