How To Stop Texting And Driving

I struggle with this. I am trying to be good about staying off my phone while driving. I even think texting at a red light is NOT GOOD.

I saw this and thought BRILLIANT.

The Red Thumb Reminder could really save lives. Here's how it works.

Remember the whole tie a sting around your finger to remind you of something? Instead you paint one thumb nail RED.






That one thumb nail will be a reminder not to text and drive. Or talk on the phone and drive!

Still not convinced?

How about this:

There are just so many accidents with the texting. I do not text--don't know how--I know behind the times.

Love the idea! Totally passing that idea onto my high school students!

it's so hard to resist when the phone is there. i now turn mine off and throw it into my purse. I have no willpower otherwise.

This is the one thing I am really good about. I never text/email/use my phone and drive. If I have to check my phone I will pull over on a side street and put the car in park (this is only when I am running late and want to text someone or need to look up directions. Normally I just wait to look at my phone when I get to my destination). I think it helps that I keep my phone in my zipped bag.

It is very tempting in LA traffic to just check my phone when I'm sitting forever at a light but I have been good about resisting!
