[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 1006880, member: 52972"] nvstatewolfpacker, If your phone has all those features that would be sufficient, however, if you can disable any or all those restrictions, then they are worthless in preventing texting while driving.....IE: if you never connect your cellphone to your BlueTooth Sync it cannot prevent you from texting while driving.....and there are many new vehicles on that are not bluetooth compatible. I think it would be great if the cellphone could recognize a bluetooth vehicle connection and automatically disable the texting features of the cellphone. It might be OK to alert the cellphone that a msg was received, but not display the msg when the vehicle is moving. That's why it's important for both the auto makers and cellphone companies to come up with a joint solution to block texting when the vehicle is in motion, and preventing voice calls unless the vehicle is equiped with a hands-free to cellphone connection. I think this is doable with today's technology and only requires the auto makers and cellphone makers to agree on a common standard. ...Rich [/QUOTE]
