This, and the fact that social media platforms, service providers and advertisers want to keep people engaged with their mobile devices as much as possible...no matter what else they may be doing at the time.
Also not helping matters are the opportunistic manufacturers who keep coming up with devices to keep that cell phone right in front of you while driving.
These things are just encouraging drivers to text, watch videos, read blogs, surf websites, make on-line purchases, etc. instead of paying attention to the road and traffic conditions.
