Date Time Focus on your driving, not your phone FOMO – the Fear of Missing Out – is putting lives at risk on our roads every day. More than 90 per cent of Australians use a smart phone, which enable users to do so much more than just make phone calls. Wagga Wagga City Council’s Road Safety Officer Emma Reynolds said while driving, it can be tempting for motorists to do other things, like make phone calls or check messages. “It’s probably fair to say that most drivers know it’s not safe to use a phone while driving but sadly many make the choice do it anyway,” Ms Reynolds said.
