We can’t resist looking at our phones when we hear those notifications!
We know looking at our phones while driving is not a good idea, but when we hear a notification, we can’t resist the temptation. That’s why Do Not Disturb, Focused Driving, and other notification blocking settings (DND settings) are so important. When they are used you won’t be tempted to look at your phone and you can avoid crashes. And, when friends try to text you, they will get your customized response telling them you won’t respond now because you are driving. That’s how to influence your friends and help them be safer.
Notification Blocking Settings on Our Phones Are Barely Being Used
Today less than 25% of iPhone owners are estimated to be using DND settings on their phones. By using these features, we can reduce smartphone use while driving, reduce distracted driving crashes and save lives. The more drivers use DND the less crashes. It’s as simple as that.
Use the Do Not Disturb Features on Your Phone
Won’t you join millions of others who have chosen to use DND settings? If you believe that distracted driving is a serious and deadly problem, there is something you can do about it.
Join us to promote the use of DND settings You can help us make distracted driving socially unacceptable.
