People already know they shouldn’t be on their phone for anything while driving. Texting, checking Facebook, Snapchat… I hope people don’t use this as more anti Pokemon Go fodder.
I agree, Rebeccar. The good things about this game far outweigh the negatives, IMO. When was the last time we saw something motivate so many kids to go outdoors and enjoy themselves? Not just kids either, but adults… OLD adults in some cases.
It’s quite an amazing phenomenon.
Well, don’t do it while driving. Phone away the entire time, or you are taking risks with your own and others’ lives.
