When I drive I sometimes notice that the car in front of me, or the side of me is swerving a bit. I look to the driver and am usually encountered with the sight of seeing them on the phone. This does not relieve my stress but makes me nervous that people are focused on what’s going on with their phone instead of the road. Now don’t get me wrong – I am a huge fan of all and everything app, technology or phone related. But typing on your Droid while driving is not the right way to play with technology.
However – there is now a solution! A new Android app called DriveSmart uses the GPS systems to lock the phone while it is in motion. The app directs calls to go straight to voicemail or your Bluetooth if it is turned on and auto replies back to texts letting the contact know that the owner of the phone is driving.
This is an amazing app that is paving the way for drivers to be more centered on the road instead of focused on their phone. It is important and will surely lead to less text related accidents on the road. Click here to view info on the DriveSmart app.
