Distracted Driving – There’s an App for That
417 Views
The Safety Report Magazine recently featured apps that can essentially lock down your phone while driving, cutting down on distracted driving. Now this may not be as big an issue for elders but it is for my boomers friends, their kids and grandkids. And there are way too many horror stories out there to not pay attention to the issue. Here are the apps if you are so inclined. I am not supplying links as you will want to access these from your application down-loader on your tablet or phone.
