Description: A designated texter can help improve driver safety by removing the temptation of his or her smartphone.
It’s been well established that using your phone while driving is dangerous, especially if you’re texting. A designated texter can help improve driver safety by removing the temptation of his or her smartphone. Here are three reasons why you should consider appointing someone to answer your texts while you drive.
From fussy kids in the back seat to billboard signage to navigation, there can be many things vying for our attention while driving. Texting pulls your eyes off the road and is one of the worst driver distractions. Having someone else in the car handling your text messages can help you remain focused on the road, while reducing the number of distractions in the vehicle.
With interruptions come safety concerns. Texting and driving are a major cause of roadway accidents. Thankfully, designated texters can keep drivers from being distracted by their phones. Instead of reading off the screen and trying to type a response with one hand on the wheel, your chosen passenger can take over. Their assistance helps to prevent fumbling and other dangerous conditions.
