The present disclosure is related to a method that includes determining that a user of a computer-based device is interacting with a screen of the computer-based device while driving a vehicle. The screen is configured to display a user interface including one or more selectable displayed application pages. Each of the one or more selectable displayed application pages displays one or more visual elements. The method also includes displaying a timer, as a persistent overlay, on at least a portion of each of the one or more selectable displayed application pages. The timer is indicative of a time duration of the user's interaction with the screen while driving. Further, at least one of the visual elements, overlaid by the timer, remains viewable and accessible by the user of the computer-based device.
