Phone Habits
Phone While Driving
Eliminate the deadliest phone habit of all.
Why This Habit Is Harmful
Using a phone while driving multiplies crash risk severalfold — texting takes your eyes off the road for seconds that equal a football field at speed. It endangers you and everyone nearby, and no notification is worth a life.
How to Break It
- 1Put the phone in the glove box or trunk while driving.
- 2Use "Do Not Disturb While Driving" mode.
- 3Set navigation before you start and use audio guidance.
- 4Pull over if you must handle the phone.
- 5Tell passengers you will not text and ask them to help.
Healthier Replacement
If you need the phone, pull over safely first. Otherwise, drive — the road is the only task that matters.
