Preventing it at a personal level
Phone calls whilst driving, even if using hands-free, divert your attention from the road and increase your crash risk.

Tips for iPhone Users
Use Driving Focus on your iPhone to concentrate on the road. With iOS 15 or higher, Driving Focus can help you stay focused on the road. When you have it turned on, text messages and other notifications will be silenced or limited.

If you haven't previously used Do Not Disturb while Driving on iOS 14 or earlier, you'll need to set up Driving Focus in order to turn it on. Here's how:

  1. Go to Settings and tap Focus

  2. Tap the Add button, then tap Driving

  3. Tap Next, then follow the onscreen instructions to set up your options, such as Allowed Notifications

  4. Tap Done
