In the UK, there is a huge crack down
on texting while driving. 3 points and a sixty pound fine to start
with. As you only get a maximum of 12 points, this is a huge
consequence when you are simply replying to a text. It is only a
matter of time before the police in the US crack down on the number
of people using their phones without hands free or texting whilst
driving. In fact if the government cracked down on this offence and
issued fines, cuts to education etc probably would not be needed. It almost
becomes a game now to see who is using their phone whilst out on the
road driving. A new App is being launched by AT&T. Just like the
drunken app which stops you sending texts, AT&T are launching an
App that does not allow you to text whilst driving. When on the road,
the text feature of your phone is disabled and all incoming texts are
instantly replied to with the message -Sorry I am driving. This
service is only available to current AT&T subscribers at the
moment but hopefully it wont be long before there is a version out
there for everyone. Apps for Driving.
