text: There's many ways people can try and stop texting and driving and stop family and close family members from risking their lives like in some states have the "no hands law" where you can't have your phone in your hands which is a step forward to lowering car accident rates also in most places it's illegal to text and drive. Another good things phones have on them is a "do not disturb" app that makes sure your phone doesn't receive notifications, which will help with making you not check your phone because there isn't really a point. Also before you pick up your phone you should think about the lives you are risking (pedestrians, whoever you are in the car with and whoever you get into the accident with) is it really worth checking your phone if there's so many consequences?
