text: What can we try to do to prevent people getting distracted by their phones while driving? The best way possible is to put your phone on silent mode, that way it will post pone all notifications until it is turned off. The second good way is to put it out of reach (glove box, trunk, etc.) that way you will have no tendency to grab it and look at for a distraction. We need to make the roads safe as possible. If you have something that is going to distract you then you are putting yourself in danger and most importantly other drivers around you. Lets just put them away while driving it will not kill you to leave it alone until you have reached your destination.
