If I ever become governor, I'll push through a law requiring all cars to have cell phone cradles that disable the ignition switch when the phone isn't inserted. The cradle will automatically disable text messaging functions. Of course, they'll find ways around it like the drunks do. |

New Technology Prevents Talking or Texting on a Phone While Driving (Straightline) "A new device for teens as well as adults called Key2SafeDriving puts the lock on cell phone use while driving . It encases a copy of a car key, and when the key slides out a signal is sent to a cell phone via Bluetooth or RFID to put it in "driving" mode and a "Stop" sign appears on the phone's display."

Replying to: steve_ (Dec 12, 2008 3:29 pm) It would seem as if this device will only work for people that are already interested in not talking on the cell. And we know that if you activated this device by giving your teen such a key that "none" of them would spend the $1.50 to have a new key made without the device. Besides what if the other passengers in the car have a cell? Doesn't seem like that device will give many peace of mind either. Oh and with the ignoring of the law as Nippon has stated accidents are still going down? If many have switched to hands free and many are dis-regarding the law and cell phones are still increasing when does the carnage start? |
