Cell Phone Blocker

With the increasing attention that legislators and the general public are devoting concerns distracted driving, we saw the emergence of market blocker cell phone. These devices are cell phone blocker designed to block cell phone use while driving. There are many different designs on the market today which leads to the question: "The cell phone blocking devices really?"

There are a couple of different models on the market right now. Consider the pros and cons and see which ones really work. GPS cell phone blockers are by far the most typical in this new market. They are not a bad idea, and they tend to be cheaper, but they have some imperfections. Essentially, they work by keeping your GPS if the GPS shows that you are traveling at a speed exceeding a certain threshold (eg, faster than a person can jog), you prevent dialing or send SMS from your phone. It is quite effective, but can sometimes be impossible. For example, if you're in the driver's seat or the passenger seat, the software will not be able to make a difference. So if you are a passenger and want to talk on the phone, you're out of luck. Another thing to consider is that this method of text block may experience problems if it is particularly bad weather or if you're in an area where satellite signals are difficult to send or receive (as a tunnel or underpass) .

The Bluetooth method seems to be much more convenient. The only one I saw use this method is safe systems of conduct. Safe Driving Systems uses a technology patented by the University of Utah to connect cell phones to the vehicle OBD port. Their device, called two key road safety, use a Bluetooth dongle that plugs directly into the OBD port of the car. The dongle sends a signal to the phone, letting them know if the vehicle is in motion or not. If the car is running and moving the dongle will alert the phone to enter "Safe Driving Mode, which locks the keyboard and the text of the call notifications. Your text goes directly into your inbox and your calls go to voicemail. Then, once the car stops, the phone alert you have messages. This method avoids problems GPS techniques suffer and it also allows you to create custom rules so that you can always talk when you do not drive. Another key feature of two road safety is the fact that you can make calls to 911 numbers and 2 other pre-programmed if you need. I have not seen this very often with the GPS-based cell phone blocker. Finally, the strength of your Bluetooth dongle to keep its Bluetooth phone, you can not "cheat" by releasing your Bluetooth. Also, if you unplug the key and try turning off the Bluetooth or the software, it sends a text to the administrator of the device (usually a boss or a parent) to let him know that the device has been tampered with. It seems the evidence rather crazy and a lot more convenient than GPS devices Blocker text.

Ultimately, no cell drive, saves lives. "We must ensure that we do not let our mobile phones to distract us all.
