This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Evie. All opinions are 100% mine.
The other day, on the way to the grocery store, we were almost hit by a woman who was driving while talking on her cell phone. In our county, it is not against the law like it is in so many other places around the country. It is scary for me to think of not only all the adults who talk and text while driving, but the fifteen year olds getting their drivers licenses who think they are invincible also doing it. Ryan asks me all the time why I won't allow him to get his license, or ride with his friends who have theirs, and my answer is simple; cell phones and driving do not mix. To me, there is no more deadly combination, except drinking and driving.
You don't even want to get me started on that topic.
Let's get back to the topic of driving and talking on your cell phone. I am not opposed to the talking so much as the having one hand on your phone and one hand on the wheel. Hands free options are a reasonable solution, because to me, talking aloud is no different than talking to a passenger. Or yelling at your kids. One option for hands free talking is Evie. This is an app you can download onto your iPhone, and it's really cool because everything "she" does is by voice command. For instance, you can tell "her" to call a certain number, or even a certain person by name from your contacts, and "she" does all the work for you. You don't have to try and find and dial the numbers yourself, causing you to remove your eyes from the road. You can also tell "her" to play you a song or find you directions. If you are a Facebook addict like most of us are, you can even listen to status updates as you drive. Pretty cool, right?
As great as this app is, I want everyone to remember how important it is to keep your focus on the road at all times while you are driving. If you don't your not only endangering your own life, you are endangering mine, too.
