Now I believe that 105 percent of the United States has a laptop in their pocket we call still a "phone", even though no one actually talks about most. What we do is Twitter tweets, Facebook comments, posting on Instagram, send a Gmail, reply to a text, read the ESPN updates, make purchases in stores, and so on.
The advantages of these devices are amazing. Unfortunately, the side effects are anything but. We trained our brain to think that we must have access to information at the moment it happens. Everyone wants to be the first to text a friend about the latest news, or retweet something important. When this becomes a real problem when we're behind the wheel of a car.
Does your phone ever given a warning when you were driving? If so, then you know the desire to check the message that second. It can be a powerful need that you literally have to wrestle with, but I invite you to WAIT!
Driving is not something we should take lightly. It requires our full attention and all it takes is a second for something to happen. I understand the desire to see someone sent a text message or email you, but ask yourself this: "Is my watch phone while driving bother myself or someone else hurt"
I think this is the best way to manage the distraction of your phone while driving. Constantly remind yourself of what could go wrong if you do. the dangers far outweigh the benefits you get looking text. If you are expecting an important message and you need to look at your phone, then simply pull on the road in a car park so you can take care of the issue. then you can go back on the road.
I want to leave you with this recall. one second of your life is not worth a life! you are too important and everyone around you is too important to risk. no matter how man a driver you are ... .it only takes a second to change everything.
