End distracted driving once and for all with these innovative car mounts

If you're reading this, then we can only hope that you're not also driving at the same time. Unfortunately, it isn't as crazy an idea as it sounds since distracted driving seems to be no big deal for way too many of those behind the wheel out there right now.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, more than 800,000 vehicles are being driven by someone using a cell phone during daylight hours at any given moment. In addition to killing over 2,800 people and injuring another 400,000 in 2018, AAA reported electronics use is the leading source of distraction for teen drivers.

Half the states in America ban hand-held phone use while driving, so car mounts aren't just optional, they're essential. Right now, check out these deals on more than a dozen different car mount models, all at discounts of up to 77% off.
