Nissan #RedThumb
Nissan and their #RedThumb movement wants folks to remember to put their phones down while driving, and I am SO happy they are encouraging this, as I have heard so many horror stories. On a daily basis, I see people using their phones while driving, and it just makes me cringe. So often I find a car driving next to me coming in my lane. It never fails when I look at the driver, they are looking at their phone. Not only are they endangering themselves, but they are risking the lives of others by being so careless.
Here is a video that explains about the #RedThumb movement:
Can I count on you to take the pledge with me? It is really easy, and by doing this you can help spread awareness of the dangers of using the phone while driving. Please also encourage your friends and family members (including teens!) to take the pledge.
Take a picture of your thumb, decorated red, however you want to do it. You can use fingernail polish and paint your thumbnail red, color it with an ink pen, or any other way. After you take your picture, post your photo on social media using #RedThumb.
Thanks for reading, and for participating in the Nissan Red Thumb movement!

Everybody knows my view of phones and driving. Neither go together, but especially texting! I can’t believe people do this and so many people get irreversibly hurt because of it. I doubt I share the campaign because I think a red thumb thing is kind of lame, but I do like the attention being drawn to it.
