Many drivers do not realize on a daily basis what disastrous consequences the slightest inattention can have while driving a car. The American insurance company Everquote called in May of last year as part of the program to comply with the safety principles of driving on the roads Appleto include the "Do Not Disturb While Driving" function in the operating system of its products. This function has recently appeared in iOS 11. The developers' goal was clear - to reduce the level of driver distraction while driving and thus prevent the risk of traffic accidents.

Business Insider reported that Everquote obtained information from the app to conduct research Everdrive, which monitored nearly 1,25 billion miles of U.S. driver driving. The data found that nearly 70% of drivers had iOS 11 with the “do not disturb while driving” feature turned on. Another statistic shows an 8% increase in the total absence of iPhone use while driving in the first month since its launch iOS 11. It's not much, but it certainly had a certain effect. On the other hand, it is striking how many people with a phoneonem works while driving. The phone is used during 37% of trips. In total, these drivers have the phone in their hands for a full 3 minutes during an average half-hour car trip.

The study was limited to the United States only. Drivers in the states of Montana, Wyoming, South Dakota, Idaho or Alaska fared best. Drivers in Maryland, Rhode Island or Connecticut drive much more dangerously. And what about you? Do you use this function while driving, or do you think it is completely useless on the iPhone? Be sure to share your opinions and experiences with us below in the comments. A relatively long time has already passed since the release of this function, so we should all have it "in our hands" as it should be, which should make our opinions comprehensive.
