Add cell phone and my personal favorite, texting, requiring two thumbs, and you have bump-shop heaven.


i'm in the process of trying to purchase phones for a small fleet of vehicles (with GPS) and texting IS an issue...i would like to have the function, but i don't want the possibility that a driver would text while driving...it seems to be an either/or situation....

considering the rash of accidents (which i fully expect to continue) it seems to me that it would not be that difficult to disable the texting function while the phone is moving (via GPS data which ALL cell phones now have)

you can pass all the 'anti-texting' laws you want, but it will not PREVENT someone from doing so...

my NAV in my car will not allow me to make changes or watch a video while the car is in motion...i don't see why texting functions can't have the same disabling capability
