I think this effort will help drivers get the message. It has to start with the end user, the driver...deciding not to partake in distracted driving and this will help drive that message home.
I took the pledge a while ago but I also decided to do something about teen (and adult) texting and driving after my three year old daughter was nearly run down right in front of me by a texting driver. Instead of a shackle that locks down phones and alienates the user (especially teens) I built a tool for teens and their parents called OTTER that is a simple, GPS based auto reply app for smartphones.. I think if we can empower the individual then change will come to our highways now and not just our laws.
Would Southwest employees be interested in trying out OTTER? I could set up a Southwest coupon if you are interested...
