I agree no wallet in back pocket while you drive.

Here is the stretch that will save your back the rest of your life. Think of an aluminum can that you bend one direction then the other until it snaps in half. Do not allow your back to snap in half.
1) Stand straight, hands straight up, slowly bend at your hips, do not touch your toes on the first try, but that will be your goal eventually. Let your body weight stretch out your back a few seconds.

2) Slowly stand back up straight hands reaching for the heavens and then lean and stretch backwards towards a wall so you can catch yourself. If you want to use your hands to walk down and back up the wall. You should hear popping and cracking.

Keep repeating.
In future days you will become more limber, and the back pain wains.

Good luck.
