Support an invention to stop "texting while driving

Did you know that “driving while texting is 6x more dangerous than driving while drunk”?!!  Yet, more and more drivers and other heavy machinery operators are regularly taking to the practice! Everyday there are hundreds of injuries and deaths caused by this dangerous habit. We hear of car accidents due to distracted driving that shatter lives; we hear of the construction crane operator who lost his attention for a moment and caused a major calamity, we hear of the train operator who missed a critical signal while on his phone and wreaked havoc in several lives; the ferry operator who turned away just for a few seconds to look at his phone yielding dire consequences; or the pilot who crashed because of a momentary distraction from his phone… the list goes on and on! There is even a new public service documentary that was just produced and released by film legend Werner Herzog to call attention to this epidemic (http://www.cnn.com/2013/08/16/tech/mobile/werner-herzog-texting-driving/index.html).

 

VIVASAVE can prevent the physical usage of smart phones by a machine operator while he/she is in the driver’s seat and save countless lives! There is NO other device today on the market that can stop physical access to Smartphones in all sorts of moving vehicles or machinery. With your vote, VIVASAVE can do just that!!! Please review the idea at:- http://www.quirky.com/ideations/609996 and support it with your vote today!
