textbyproxyDrivers can only text by proxy through the Shotgunner. By extension, this includes looking up information on the Internet by cell phone or other connected device, like movie times, parking spaces, navigation, Yelp Reviews, etc.

If the Shotgun rider sees the driver texting and driving, he must scold the driver, take the cell phone away, and assume texting responsibilities.

Remember you are also the Sentinel
