The social media team of Mumbai Police is unbeatable and are clearly one of the most popular Twitter handles with over 4.23 million followers. The force is back with yet another online campaign, especially for drivers who are obsessed twiddling apps. Mumbai Police announced its '#DontAppAndDrive' campaign on Twitter to urge drivers not be on their phones especially checking their apps while on the move. The creatives '#DontAppAndDrive' are quick hits on Twitter.
The tweets clearly states that your last seen on your favorite apps should not be the "last time for your loved ones to see you".
Similarly, you can put or up to date your stories later when you reach your destination safely. And it is not just risking the life of drivers, but also other people on the road.
The roads are full of crowd and it is not safe the second you take your eyes off to look at your phone. Driving and posting together, is not a good idea!
