In an effort to make Ireland’s roads safer for everyone, Toyota Ireland and the RSA are reminding people to put their phones face down while driving. Research shows that when using a hand-held mobile phone while driving, you’re four* times more likely to crash than someone who is not using a hand-held phone.
As part of Toyota Ireland’s brand promise of being ‘Built for a Better World’, it developed the app with the aim of changing driver behaviour and improving road safety for everyone. Drivers of any car make or model can download the Toyota FaceItDown app from the Google Play Store or Apple Store for free.
