TxDOT shares tip to curb distracted driving

In Texas alone, distracted driving causes more than 100,000 preventable traffic accidents each year, and the Texas Department of Transportation has taken to social media to share a great tip to help you keep yourself off of your phone on the road.

Ben Taylor, one of TxDOT's Twitter followers, shared recently that he designed a wallpaper for his iPhone with the words 'It can wait' over a photo of his family.



"I've literally not swiped my phone since putting this on there," he told TxDOT in a followup message.

There are a variety of apps that can help users superimpose text over a photo, including some you might already have, like Snapchat and the latest update to the Facebook app.
