Phones are one of the biggest distractions that drivers face. Some of the members of SWAT tested out a few apps that not only drivers but parents can download on their phone and we would like to share some of our experiences with you!
🚘The best one over all is called Lifesaver-distracted driving. This app not only serves as a reminder to put the phone down by activating a Lock Screen when the phone travel 10 mph it also allows parents to view safe driving history that includes a map. They can even see when their driver selects “passenger” to avoid the Lock Screen.

🚖Life 360 is another popular app that many of us use!

🚙Most phone have a built in do not disturb or driving mode it takes time to get in the habit of using this.

🚗Some insurance companies even have an app that they provide to promote safe driving. Search in the App Store or give them a call.
