Do you know what you’re really doing when you’re texting while you’re driving, or TWD? You’re watching TV. Well, maybe not exactly having the TV on next to your windscreen but it’s the same sort of idea. Why? Because you’re not concentrating on the road while you’re TWD.
When you’re behind the wheel of a moving vehicle, the road is where your eyes should be focused on. Not the monitor of your BlackBerry. Taking your eyes off the road even for a second puts both you and your passengers in grave danger. Distracted driving accounts for a staggering number of road accidents annually and many of those are a result of texting while driving. This phenomenon cuts across the whole strata of the driving public.
As interesting as the TV can be, you’re not about to agree that it’s a good idea to watch a mini TV screen when you’re driving. That’s exactly what your BlackBerry is when you’re texting while driving. You’re not only setting yourself up for a possible car crash but you’re putting innocent people in direct danger with your total disregard for safe driving.
You can stop dangerous driving this minute by using a free BlackBerry app called DriveSafe.ly. It’s a revolutionary mobile app that let’s you listen to text as you’re maneuvering your vehicle. You can download it from the DriveSafe.ly website and it doesn’t use up much battery. You can be completely hands free as it works with just one touch, reading all incoming messages aloud in a natural sounding voice.
You can even listen to email up to 500 words in length with the premium version. The application will use your phone ID to uniquely identify your mobile device. You can then use it for the life of your phone with a one off payment of $13.95. You don’t have to be watching TV anymore when you can listen to SMS with DriveSafe.ly
