Technology Helps Break the Habit
Anti-Cell Phone Laws are popping up all around the world as governments attempt to make our roads safer by curbing cell phone usage while driving. Especially text messaging and emailing while driving. But not everyone seems to have the self control to kick the habit despite the potential punishments from law enforcement or worse causing personal injury or death either to themselves or someone else.
In the past couple years, several products or programs have been introduced on the market that either restrict the functionality of cell phones while in motion (preventing the phone from sending or receiving calls, emails or text messages) or adds features to the phone, such as speech recognition programs that read you your messages.
Some of new tools work rather well, whereas others don’t and of course prices can vary. All of them have limitations and only work on certain phones (Blackberrys, iPhones, various other SmartPhones, etc.).
