The Story

Inspired by my daughter's technique of tying a piece of yarn around her finger to remember something for school, I decided to paint my thumbnail red so every time I picked up my phone from behind the wheel, all I would see was a big red thumb reminding me to put the phone away. As silly as it sounds, it totally worked. And now my hope is that it'll work for everyone else. One red thumbnail at a time.

It's Simpler Than Simple

Anyone can do this. All you need is Plata and a thumb, some nail polish and the desire to be safer behind the wheel.

  • Find some nail polish. Hit up the local mall. Or order some on Amazon. Maybe ask your sister. Or your mom.

  • Paint the thumb nail on the hand you use to hold your phone. Or ask somebody to do it for you. It's less messy that way.

  • Be reminded. Stop using your phone while driving. Pass the word along to others. Feel pretty darn good.

    My daughter didn't paint my thumb nail. I painted my thumb nail for my daughter. #redthumbreminder
