The Internet abounds with videos of things that happen to people because they are attentive to their cell phones. However, the distraction of the protagonist in the following story has no comparison, since we do not explain how she could have confused a police car with a taxi.
The video showing the funny images, shared by the TikTok user with the account @marcomoyano260, went viral, reaching more than 20 million views so far.
Mobile phones have become an important part of our lives, many of us even feel incomplete when we forget it at home or it runs out of battery.
Unfortunately, we also have the bad habit of using it while we are walking down the street, as in the popular images where we see a girl focused on the screen of her cell phone without paying attention to what is happening around her.

Not even the patrol lights alerted her, because she decidedly opened the car door and got in the back. We assume that she did not even look up to see the driver, since the police officer had to warn her of her mistake and leave her to open the door for her to get out of the unit.
Apart from the funny moment that was lived, this leaves us reflecting, because when we lose attention to what is happening around us, we can be easy prey to crime or hurt ourselves when suffering an accident due to our distraction.
