Although Niantic informs players not to use the application while driving, many users ignore these instructions and accidents ultimately occur. It is true that people are becoming aware that using a smartphone while driving is really dangerous since things happen that second you stop looking ahead, but there are also many users who continue to use their mobile device while driving and do so. Which is worse, playing Pokémon Go or similar. The fact is that two women so far this week have lost their lives and another has been seriously injured by accidents in which two drivers confirmed to the authorities that they were playing with their smartphone. The two cases have occurred in Japan, and the latter was an accident in the city of Kasugai while a woman was crossing the street with her bicycle how well the TBS media reports.
It is true that cities tend to see fewer and fewer users with their smartphone while driving, but it does not seem that everyone is aware of the risk that this poses both to our lives and to that of others. Using the smartphone, the GPS, playing the radio or simply being distracted at the wheel for a second is one of the main reasons for an accident, so it is advisable not to touch the device until we reach our destination and stop "hunting" Pokémons while driving.
