Darien Woman Starts Local Effort to Get Drivers Off Phones

Don’t pick up that cell phone while you’re driving — not to answer the phone or call on it and especially not to text. Editor’s note: An update (at the bottom of the article) has been added at 5:35 p.m. on Sept. 17. We all know we shouldn’t do any of that, and most of us are aware that it can be very dangerous, but Whitney Ball, a Darien mother of two, has an idea that she hopes will actually stop many of us from doing it — and make Darien a safer place to drive. This summer, she came up with the idea of making “Drop It and Drive in Darien” car magnets available around town that can be put on the backs of cars.
