Reply #15: My daughter in law put this on her own phone..she has a new baby and didn't want calls coming while [View All]

while driving and have the urge to answer her own phone..and therefore be distracted while driving with her new baby..

It is great..if you call her and she is driving..your phone will tell you that she is driving and unable to answer your call..

I am so happy she did this ..as I told her at Xmas time while I was visiting..that there is no point in all the safety stuff she has in her home, if she is talking while driving and so distracted..I told her it is almost the equivilent of drunk driving..with her baby in the car!

I (very gingerly..lol) told her..no one and nothing is important enough to put her child at risk because of a stupid phone call.

I told her as a 33 yr flight crew for a major airline..I could not recieve calls ..or be distracted and I said for 33 years..I survived..without a frigging phone..on the road and away from home always....in fact I said it gave me freedom to not be tied to a phone...and let me enjoy the better things in life other than phone calls...I said I hated coming home from a 3-4 day trip and have my phone ringing constantly..but I also told her I have a resentment to these phones..because I would have passengers put a plane load of passengers lives at risk, because some asshole thought his or her phone call was more important than the safety of their fellow passengers. I SAID THE SELFISHNESS OF SOME PEOPLE WITH THESE DAMN PHONES..TO RISK OTHER people's LIVES...for a phone call .... is beyond my comprehension!
No one is that damn important!

So now when she is driving she can not be tempted to answer her phone..and when she stops driving..she can see who called her and call them back.

And this new Grandma, is a very happy Grandma now!!

OH AND I OFFERED TO PAY FOR THIS SERVICE..WHATEVER IT TOOK.. TO STOP THE PHONE WHILE DRIVING MY GRANDBABY!!

If we all would sit these kids down and tell them how much we love them, and we want them safe..maybe we can get the damn texting and phone calls to end in cars!!

We have all seen how drivers distracted by these phones drive..they speed up, they slow down they cross lines..they are like drunk drivers..and they are dangerous.
