Phone Addicts! You’re Not Multitasking—You’re Gambling

Your phone may be your lifeline, your playlist, your pocket therapist—but behind the wheel it’s a loaded distraction. You missed the green. You drifted a lane. You almost turned someone’s Tuesday into a headline. Get off the damn phone and drive.

Your Screen Isn’t That Interesting

Be honest: the “urgent” ping is a meme, a DM, or a dopamine crumb. Nothing on that glass rectangle is worth a human life—yours or anyone else’s. You’re not a multitasking prodigy; you’re a distracted driver with a two-ton machine.

Driving Isn’t a Side Hustle

You’re piloting steel at highway speeds. This is not the place to audition for “Texts of Our Lives.” Treat driving like the main event. Eyes up. Hands in. Brain on.

Excuses vs. Reality

• “I’ll just glance.” At 60 mph, five seconds equals a football field blindfolded.
• “It’s hands-free.” Your hands are free; your attention isn’t. Cognitive load still steals processing.
• “Just a quick reply.” A split-second is all it takes to rearrange a family.

Don’t Be That Person

The lane-weaver. The green-light statue. The brake-tap DJ. You’re not quirky—you’re dangerous. Respect the road or surrender the keys.

The Stupidbubble Driver Code (run it today)

• Do Not Disturb → ON before drive. Add auto-reply: “Driving. I’ll hit you back.”
• Phone in the glove box / back seat. Out of reach = out of mind.
• Passenger = copilot. They handle GPS, music, messages.
• If it’s truly urgent, PULL OVER. Turn urgency into a shoulder, not a swerve.
• Post-trip check. You didn’t miss anything that was worth someone’s life.

Life Lesson

Attention is protection. Where your focus goes, your future and someone else’s safety follow.

Everybody has a stupidbubble. Some stay trapped. Some break it. We turn ours into power.

Bottom line: Phones down. Lives up. Drive like you intend to arrive.
