iOS 11 – This is how Do Not Disturb While Driving works

iOS 11 has a new function called Do Not Disturb While Driving which aims to prevent road accidents by breaking the link between the iPhone and its owner. This is done by blocking the display of notifications to iPhone users with iOS 11 until something really urgent needs to reach their attention.

Apple wants us to forget about mobile phones while driving, and iOS 11 does this through the Do Not Disturb While Driving mode, its activation completely preventing the display of notifications. The iPhone screen no longer lights up to display notifications if it is closed, unless a person who wants to contact us sends us a message followed by a second message with the urgent text, iOS 11 displaying the first one.

I would recommend you to use the Do Not Disturb While Driving function on iOS 11 after the official release, but I'm pretty sure you won't do it, so I won't go into details and leave you with the video clip.
