Texting and driving is one of the worst decisions you can ever make. Learn how Trumpia can save you time and effort when sending messages so that you don't need to send them on the road.
Contrary to popular opinion, texting and driving is far more dangerous, if not the same as drunk driving. And here at Trumpia, we strongly discourage the use of SMS texting while you are driving, even if it means you save just a minute of your time. Because the reality is, losing one minute of your time can mean saving someone else’s life.
