No... There should be a feature of all phones that uses the GPS that's already on every damn phone. It would work like this:

Once the phone detects that it is moving say faster than 15 mph the texting feature is automatically disabled.


would suck on road trips for those not driving. or on a bus, on a plane, on a train, etc.

Mine does this as well and im not sure how to turn it off other than tell it I am not driving when I look at the screen.


Only accurate rifles are interesting.

go to Settings/Do Not Disturb and turn it on and off there. there should also be an icon for it on you control center (swipe up from bottom) where you turn Airplane/Bluetooth/WiFi, etc on and off

I quit riding my motorcycle to work because of all the people that almost killed me switching lanes with a phone in their hands i seen a young girl rear end a 2500 pickup right next to me on a bike at a red light running about 40 mph with a phone glued to her face if she woulda been one lane over id probably be crippled or dead. She didnt even tap the brakes just wham like she was driving blind.

Texting & driving should carry a year & a day sentence first offense. At least a drunk might try to slow or swerve.

I drove for a living for 22 years and I use to see folks putting on makeup, reading a book, on the laptop computer going down the road.

Saw a woman eating pancakes and sausage driving down I-75. Not drive-through.

She actually had a real plate, and was driving with her knee while eating with a fork.

Plate in one hand, fork in the other.

Have also seen people pre-smart phone reading books or newspapers while driving.

Back in my younger days I've done something while driving that was a lot more distracting than texting! It was at night though and my eyes were on the road...mostly. 😳
Seriously, I agree it's a serious problem. I almost had a guy drift into my lane and head on me this morning coming across the bridge to Dauphin Island. I was already on the brake when he looked up from his phone and saw where he was.

It's the phone's fault. We need to get rid of all phones!

I figured the day would already be here that insurance companies won't cover any damages if they can prove you were texting and driving.

Years ago My insurance man corrected me when I said "I guess y'all don't insure against stupidity". He said "oh yes we do, every day".
