[QUOTE="azure, post: 1505359, member: 39639"] Try a bit of straight-talking - hard, I know, especially when it's a parent. Tell him honestly what you feel and about your fears. Be prepared for him to say that he can manage it because he's a good driver, etc, but then remind him that all the people using phones when driving thought they were good drivers and in control too. Perhaps if he sees how serious and how concerned and afraid you are (and rightly so) he might stop for your sake. I think there are apps that can help - almost like a Driving Mode where the phone is silent. Some also send a text alert to tell callers the person is driving and can't answer. Speak to him and stress your fears, and give him some practical solutions. Phone in the glovebox on silent, phone off until his destination, phone app to help - lots of options. No text is so important that it's worth risking a life for. Tell him that. [/QUOTE]
