However inconvenient you may find not being able to use your mobile when behind the wheel, the figures definitely show that to do so would be a bad idea.
Aegis Mobility has developed a software solution to the problem that it hopes will be licensed by mobile providers keen to give their customers either a) a pocket-sized nanny state and/or b) a safer driving experience.
DriveAssist uses your phone’s GPS to detect when you are moving at ‘driving speeds’ and makes it impossible to make anything other than emergency calls.
Sounds fine, but how does the thing tell if you are actually driving, or just sitting on the bus? Answer: It doesn’t, you just have to override it. WHich you can do if you are driving, we would assume. Hey ho.
