I agree with people having cell phone addiction!

If you look around you at a red light many people have their phone in their hand. Quite often you have to honk when the light turns green because the driver of the car in front of you has their face in the phone.

It would be great (and safer) if something in a running car rendered a phone inoperable. Maybe a GPS linked device that shut the phone down if the car was moving. It would probably result in a significant decline in accidents.

I agree, it could be tied to the speedometer or maybe the gear selector being in any gear but park. If the car is moving then no cell service. But you would still have people looking at their phone at a stop light.

My four yo iPhone doesn't work when the car is in motion. As a passenger, I hit the button that says "I'm not driving", and I'm back in business. My wife's android has no such feature. Or it has been disabled.

What's to prevent the driver from hitting that button? Is there a lie detector on that phone too?
