Everyone knows that texting while driving is primarily against the law. It is illegal in almost every state! But how many times have you passed someone on the road and look over and they are carrying on a digital conversation with their fingertips placed squarely on their mobile device? Lots, I am sure. Our world has shifted full-speed into a digital age and we have become addicted to our smartphones. That addiction does not stop even when we sit down into the driver’s seat of our vehicles. However great the pull to be on your phone 24/7 may be, texting while driving is a serious issue that needs to be addressed.

We need to practice good driving habits and execute them every time we get behind the wheel of a vehicle. Here are 4 ways to stop texting and driving immediately that should set you up for success.

  2. When using your smartphone as a GPS, make sure you have a phone mount on the dashboard and voice directions turned on.
