Thank you for choosing to drive safely! Activating a Do Not Disturb While Driving (DNDWD) feature on your phone will help you stay focused on the road by silencing or limiting text messages and other notifications while you’re driving.
Why Do It?
- Phone notifications can disrupt safe driving.
- Hiding notifications while driving can help you maintain your focus on the road and decrease crash risk.
- An average of 9 people are killed daily in the United States, and over 1,000 people are injured by distracted driving. Don’t let this be you or your loved ones.
- Many drivers say they are willing to give up checking notifications while driving but find it hard to resist the temptation.
