I appreciate the ingenuity, I really do. But my preferred method of using my smartphone in the car is this.
I don’t.
When I’m in control of my 3000lbs of metal and fuel, I prefer as few distractions as possible. If I miss a call, oh well. No call, message, text or email is worth taking my eyes off the road for.
It goes onto silent, and stays that way until I stop at home, work or in a car park.
Sorry to be preachy, but you ask anyone who died from not watching the road if it was worth it. Oh wait, you can’t.
The main reason I made this was the GPS and the audio books I listen to when driving and I do agree with you on not using the phone when driving. There is nothing preachy about what you state and I should have put something in the video about that. Thanks for pointing this out

Sam, good point. I stand corrected. Perhaps consideration before ranting is required.
