[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 1006876, member: 52972"] Bill V. I am not proposing that the text blocking be linked to the GPS? I am talking about a signal sent all cellphones in the passenger cabin that blocks texting when the vehicle is moving...that can be linked to the vehicles speedometer/speed sensor. This would not apply to trains, buses, or perhaps not even taxis. Your idea of disabling the vehicle until the phone is turned of is also good, but I think talking on a phone in a vehicle with a bluetooth hands-free device is not any more dangerous than talking to a passenger in your car and a recent study by the NHTSA shows that to be true. Texting is a serious distraction, talking on a hands-free phone is far less distracting for most people....but there are some people who cannot walk and chew gum. I would agree to blocking the cellphone signal if the phone is not connected via a bluetooth hands-free system. I think the only exception would be 911 calls. ...Rich [/QUOTE]
