Local Doctors Speak On Distracted Driving Problems

With people hitting the roads and getting ready for the Super Bowl this weekend, the chances for an accident increase. A local app creator is hoping people remember to ditch the phone while driving and pay attention to the road.

If you take a look to your left or right while in the car, chances are you'll see someone glancing down at their phone.

"Your eyes are off the road for about five seconds whenever reading or responding to a text message," said Natalie De La Cruz with Safe 2 Save.

Safe 2 Save is a local app designed to reward users for driving safely. It awards points for every minute you don't touch your phone while in the driver's seat.
