Sprint offers Sprint Drive First, a wireless application that can limit phone calls and text messages while driving. Sprint Drive First automatically detects movement above 10 miles-per-hour and locks the cell phone. Incoming calls are directed to voicemail and incoming texts receive a standardized response.

Totally. Here’s the stat that kills us: on average, texting while driving at 55mph takes your eyes off the road for the length of a football field!
Thumb Wars is closed for now, but check back next year when we launch again! For now, you can educate your friends about the dangers of texting and driving using the stat above the our Action Guide. You can also make your own socks (out of paper, fabric, even digitally!) and share them with friends.
Isn’t it great? And that’s totally the point. We’ve learned that scare tactics push people away from learning about an issue. Thumb Wars is a way to make it fun for those you care about to learn how to be a bit safer. Go crazy! Have fun!
We’re sorry! If you didn’t get socks this year, definitely check back next year to sign up for socks. Remember that we can only send socks out to people within the ages of 13 - 25 years old, and you only got socks if you told us with whom you’d share them! You can always make your own socks!
We have more answers! Email Sarah at thumbwars@dosomething.org with any other questions you have.
