The ability to render a cell phone useless while in a car already
exists. Why they don't use it is beyond me.

because passengers would be incredibly ****ed if their phones don't
work, as would the driver in an emergency.


Individual phones can be set to drive mode so passengers are not
affected. The driver can get back to normal in a touch or two. if you
don't want to use the phone while driving you even have the option of
ignoring it. There really is no excuse.

I sometimes make or receive a call, other times I ignore it. I always
ignore text messages until I'm stopped.
