Every new fad has unintended consequences, and Pokemon Go is no different. While many users of the game find themselves in strange areas doing strange things, a surprising number of people are attempting to catch 'em all while driving, which eventually leads to exploring your local auto collision shop. Kilani Fender, one of Wahiawa's leading auto body work specialists, encourages everyone to keep their phones where they belong while driving, no matter how many rare Pokemon pop up on your commute.

auto collisionAccidents are already happening around the country as distracted drivers and pedestrians, who are paying more attention to the augmented reality of their phones than the actual reality around them, collide. Two Quebec City police officers were recently injured when a driver who was playing Pokemon Go inadvertently caused a serious auto collision by backing into their vehicle. Even drivers who are dutifully leaving their Pokemon in their pocket must also dodge players who may be watching their phones rather than oncoming traffic, like this Pennsylvania teenager who was hit by a car while playing.

Much like texting and even talking, there's no safe way to use a cell phone while driving. This goes double for Pokemon Go and other games. If, however, you are involved in a Pokemon-related accident, the auto collision expert sat Kilani Fender have the cutting-edge equipment and experience they need to restore your vehicle to pristine condition.
