Quick Guide: #X (Pound X) Before You Drive so others will know

#X usually in social media, meant pause conversion temporary.

According to the web site, there has been over 5 million people already who have signed the pledge.

So when you are behind the wheel, before you drive, let your friends and family know #X. If you got #X, don’t text back the person that said that until you get the all clear text.

You can download apps and also create shortcuts or templates to have it handy and ready to send before you drive.

Texting and driving impairs your driving and can lead to death of you or someone else. So be smart and use #X and help save a life.

Maybe one way so you are not distracted with texting is to put your phone on silent mode or n a place where you can’t reach it. Of if you have someone else in the vehicle with you, assign a Designated texter to text for you. If you are riding with someone and they are texting, speak up and ask them to not text and drive.
