Another Anti-Distraction Tool To Avoid North Carolina Car Accidents
This Charlotte auto accident blog spends a lot of time delving into tools and concepts to help drivers regain focus behind the wheel. If you recently got hurt in a crash, you are extremely attuned to personal safety; you want to do everything in your power, going forward, to protect yourself and your family (and other people on the road).
To that end, here is another tool to put in your auto safety toolbox: safe driving apps.
Browse any major app store online, and you will find dozens of really cool, innovative apps that can protect you against distracted driving. These apps can:
- Send an automated message to anyone who text or emails you saying, in effect, “I am in a car right now and can’t talk”
- Lock the phone so that you literally can’t receive a text or incoming email;
- Alert parents if/when a teen chats-and-drive and ID the teen’s location via GPS;
- Track teen driver behavior by identifying driving infractions and alerting parents.
Car safety has gotten sophisticated, thanks to GPS devices, cell phone apps, and other innovative technologies and processes. In some ways, it’s cool to think that we can use cell phone apps and software to diffuse the dangers of driver cell phone use. However, for all the marvelous techie solutions out there, you still need to maintain discipline and
focus on improving your driving habits and eliminating distractions in your life.
